Notes About The Poem

For Only March 2025 Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

A Dog Shares His Perspective

as my dog and i were on a walk 
he said
we have to have a talk
about the way we are constructed
it was then
that he instructed
when you say
top to bottom  
about things that we've both got 'em
what you mean is front to back 
i'll admit
i was taken aback. 
he said
just as night follows day 
when you open your mouth
to say 
back to front
in a kind of flip-flop
what you mean
is
bottom to top 
he barked i believe our walk's complete 
can i now have my doggy treat
