Be kind to me please! my poetry

[Lotti]

Ok, I've managed to buck up enough courage to post it here (It's already posted in pets) but please be kind to me, I don't like sharing my work as I'm very, very critical about it!

 

Do You Remember?

 

 

Do you remember when I had youth?

The time I lost that baby tooth?

I remember you put it in a wooden box

And labelled it 'First Tooth of Fox'

Why did my first collar go in?

And yet that ham went in the bin??

 

Do you remember that first time

That I understood I'd committed a crime

You picked up the bread, the meat and cheese

And told me that you were not pleased

I realised then, that I was in trouble

And you bent down to give me a cuddle

I licked your face to apologise

And you looked into my big brown eyes.

You laughed, I smiled

And we were reconciled.

 

Do you remember I would jump and bounce

And all my energy, every ounce

Was used to run and play and bark

You'd tell me that I must not lark

And I'd laugh and continue my unruly aim

And make your pursuit into a game.

 

Do you remember when I fetched that ball?

You yelled 'Good boy!!' and stood up tall

Then we rolled around in the grass together

And you said that we'd be friends forever.

 

Don't forget the promise you made

I may be old now and you're afraid

That one day I won't be around

But you bring me joy as I lose my bound

Sit with me and try to see

What a dog perceives the world to be

 

I want to be with you to the very end

My special person, my forever friend.

 

And when I'm gone remember this

I'm in your heart living eternal bliss.

Ah, Lotti, I very nearly shed a tear there.

Why do you need courage ? You should be proud of your work , it's very good

no one in this group should feel it's a competition to write the best work it's not. Now you can post some more.

[Jabberwocky]

Any chance of more like that?

[Lotti]

Amanda - I don't think I have an account on dogpages anymore but have posted it on another dog forum. You can post it if you like?

Why Do I Love You?

 

Why Do I Love You?

 

You stole, you barked, you dug the floor

You stole my food, then begged for more

You pushed me as far as you thought I’d go

And then pretended I never said ‘No’

 

You scratched the walls, and ate the door

You stole my things and thought I never saw

You chased bikes and joggers through the park

And when I said ‘quiet’ you’d just bark.

 

You were so difficult, such a pain

And they say dogs are easy to train

But tell me one thing,

I need to know

 

Why do I miss you so??

 

You were my friend, you loved me true

And I don’t know where I am without you

You would settle down with your head on my knee

And for five minutes we’d live in harmony.
