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.
