A verse about man's best friend. Painting by Carole Estrup

Dog

by

Jansen Estrup (2012)

 

My dog runs free,

and joy runs with him.

He scatters rabbits,

Barks at bears

and ears go flapping

when he flees.

Flocks go flitter, all a-twitter,

at play he stalks and charges.

His tongue lolls pink

and slather gluey ,,,

protected well, a crawling litter.

In the night, while fire bug flies,

He studies me with happy eyes.

Sweet and charming poem that connects man to dog. Our dogs are amazing creatures. They are great companions. You have a lucky dog to be so celebrated and cherished.

If that is his picture, he is a beauty, and he looks so content!
I only want little dogs, but I can still admire the large breeds. I love the phrase, "joy runs with him" and the image of him running with ears flapping.

The words of one who sees all of life worth paying attention to. Reminiscent of Mr. Ed's dedication, this was a rewarding and lyrical glimpse at the never ending magic a dog can impact a fellow creature who sees love as universal and without necessity of object, preferring to honor the state of love. Beautifully uttered.

He sounds like a gem, wish I could get a dog, but I am having a hard enough time keeping myself going so it wouldn't be fair to a dog to subject him to it as well, good write...e

Right, Terry - father was an Irish Setter, mother an Akita-Lab mix. He was a marvelous furry thing ...

Sounds like a retriever of some sort.
