Notes About The Poem

A Black Lab Named Ken

*****


     I adopted a friendly old dog,
     a black Lab named Ken
     He's not much of a watch dog
     but we're great friends

     Ken, has a favorite red ball
     he takes it everywhere he goes
     even to the vet beside the mall
     A vision of smiles playing in the snow

     One night, I was sleeping in bed
     awaken to glass breaking
     Bang!.. Yelp!..  My heart sank in dread
     thud, thud, thud, my body was shaking

     My life flashed before my eyes.
     frozen in time, a prisoner in the dark.
     I fear death!  Will no one hear my cries?
     Then reality brought me back, "Arf"!

     I felt something hit my chest,
     thud,  bouncing on the rug.
     "Arf," Ken! I should have guest
      you scared me, I gave him a hug.

     The house is a battle zone
     Ken!, You're a bad boy, No! more ball.
     His ears went down as he groans,
     -dropping the ball at my feet, excited, "Arf", rlay rall" (play ball)

                                      
                  12-4-21                   
           ****Fictional****

Sara Kendrick January 10, 2022 at 3:51 AM Ahh!! How cute. You must have experienced something like this or heard about it from family and friends to write it with such expression and clarity. I appreciate your visit to my page. Sara Debra L Brown January 10, 2022 at 5:57 PM Hi Sara, I'm happy you enjoyed the poem. I had a little black, long-coated Chuhauaua. A long time ago, every time I would scold, her ears would go down and she would make a "grur." Then, in a couple of minutes, she'd forget and be back to her happy self. Thanks for your comment. Blessings~ Debra
