Dog of Geometric Shapes

Triangular ears, cone shaped nose,
trapezoid body, coil of a tail.

The abacus of your black beady eyes
speaks of arithmetic, calculations.
What algebraic mind sends you barking 
down the hall seeking out equations?

Licking your paws in algorithms
you breathe in cycles of in and out,
plus one and minus one --
napping in the zero of your bed.

You sweet, small mathematical creature,
I love you to infinity.

This is really adorable, Moon. That's one ship-shape, geometrical dog you've created there. ~ Yu Klid
