Your brown eyes

watch me with an intensity

of adoration that makes my heart glow.

Whenever I come home,

you greet me at the door,

quivering in delight.

You follow me throughout the house

set your head across my knees,

gaze longingly into my eyes.

I scratch your ears and you sigh,

with a satisfaction that trembles

up your spine.

“Such a good boy,” I say,

and your tail thumps

in lazy agreement.

    I think you are wonderfully and magically blessed.

  11. Awwww this is adorable! I pretty much melted into a puddle of goo when I read that “quivering in delight” line. If you were to write a poem about poodles every day for the rest of my life, I’d die happy 🙂

    It’s wonderful to be accepted just the way you are regardless. Their love is so unconditional – no wonder we give our hearts to our canine friends. 🙂

    I really enjoy your work! It’s clever and quirky- even the smaller pieces; you must not have trouble with writer’s block when you free write.

    I’m loving your dog poetry, both the touching ones and the funny ones–I’m a Chihuahua person myself.
