Puppies

Long hair

Short hair

Curly little mess.

Dark eyes

Light eyes

I love them all the best.

Long snout

Short snout

Smushed little face.

Pointy ears

Floppy ears

You stumble full of grace.

Short and stubby

Long and curly

Your tail tells all the tales.

Loud bark

Quiet bark 

Screechy little yip!

White teeth

Pointy teeth

All smiles no nip.

Soft and silky

course and rough

I will pet you all the same.

Tug-of-warring

Stick fetching

or just plain boring.

 I love every single solitary one.

And everyone loves me. 

Untitled

You shot someone today,

And she looked just like me

You heard the crack

Before I felt the snap of myself.

You cut me to the quick!

The granite stillness of my limbs

The silent croaking chill.

You used me and you destroyed me for a muse.

I could applaud her for her achievement

Though it ends in my bereavement

It failed its assignment.

You heart, the cursed thing,

It only sorrows bring.
