The pet group poetry thread

[Lotti]

Lotti....I'm crying again now...flipping heck...! Lovely poem tho! Put some more up! xx

 

Glad you liked it I don't write many because I really have to be in the mood (and they're always sad for some reason!)

 

Here's another I wrote - a long while ago.

 

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.

 

 

See now, I'm in the position where I'll soon be losing one of my dogs and these poems mean even more to me now!! (Although I should point out that my dogs are not as badly behaved as the dogs in the poems!)

Knitbird that's really lovely - your Great Aunt Margaret was not only a very clever, literate lady but obviously also very kind hearted

Some great stuff on this thread. I used to write 'pomes' but seldom have time these days.

 

My 'CATS' poem is featured on this youtube effort I had to put together for my eComms course a couple of years ago

 

Shame they disabled the background track (Love Cats by the Cure) still, you can always hum it as you watch...
