Eve Roper Poet Free verse

A Show of Strength

Calo stands up tall, raising her furry paws

A show of strength she desires with Joe the dog


She dances around Joe sprawled on the floor

A quick one two to Joe's jaw 


Calo propels over backwards in a quick motion

to come back with a hook, jab, a firm right

to show who's the boss


Lazy outstretched Joe, yawns


Calo might be small, but she is so in control
