Dog

Dog I once had a fluffy white dog take my hand He was born a Maltese and was very well cared for He was my every world, my one and only, all over this land When I’d come home he would greet me at the door The exchanges of happiness would touch my heart He would twirl and dance at my feet, nipping at my dress Meanwhile, my couched husband is doing his part Watching his sports, drinking beers, and being a mess My little one would follow me to the end of the Earth He would follow me all over the house as he loves me The times I do take him for a walk, I have self-worth Everything about him is real and loyal, I love to see Many a candlelight dinners it would be just me and him He would get his bowl of treats and there be a bone Together our eyes dance, and I'd hear his imaginary voice hymn Without his companionship, I would be so alone Meanwhile, my husband is doing his part nipping at his beers You would think that my little one acts the part of a spouse At night he would jump onto my bed, cuddling my tears The man that I married, sigh, is forever in the doghouse 2/6/23 Writing Challenge - D Words - Poetry Contest Sponsor-Constance La France 2nd
