A poem for Loki, the youngest of my three dogs.


Poem Artwork

 

Loki, such a clumsy pup 
Would flatten me with zealous love 
He'd black my eye whilst climbing up 
And as I roll my eyes above 

Exasperation rising fast 

He'll stomp upon my tender spots 
And say he loves me best of all 
By setting tongue to lick eyeball 
Until at last I'm seeing dots 


But, for all his clumsiness 
His loyalty's beyond compare 
Time and time again he'll stress 
That I'm the one for whom he'll care 

With adoration in his eye 

The world to him is what I'm worth 
For merest touch of hand on head 
And hear the words 'Good boy' be said 
He'll follow me to ends of earth.

Cute piece of poetry for a cute puppy and yes, they sure are clumsy but the love they have is unconditional.
