Poem written for and submitted to “Animal-Dachshund” poetry contest, Nette Onclaud, sponsor, September 21, 2025

ANIMAL-DACHSHUND

“ANIMAL DACHSHUND”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
badger dog bravado
low rider, earth hugger
legs, little pistons, churning
elongated body
with a high-octane soul
loyalty my only leash
