Fur Buddies & Familiars
Write a poem about your feathered friend, neighborhood alley cat, or your passenger seat dog pal. They can be ferrets, cats, dogs, birds... Anything, as long as you see them often and regularly and share some sort of symbiotic relationship with each other.
Tell me their quirks, their frustrating bits, and what absolutely makes you just squeal with excitement when you want to hug them and pet them.
Pure Joy
As I rap on the door
I hear a scampering swoosh
as the knob turns
the door creaks open
Yoshi’s velvety fur tossles
as he scurries
like a thunderbolt
and wallops
a delighted bark!
He enthusiastically
scampers
as his paws madly
pitter patter
across the tile.
He leaps up
howling in pure joy
his gleeful tail
pounding the ground
His eyes and mouth
grin together widely
and reveal his
pure reverie.
As I pull him close
I hear his heart
thud against mine.
As he plunks
a sloppy kiss on my cheek
I relish this
furry hug with the
sweetest pup around!
