Frisky

Welcome Frisky to your new home Where happiness you’ll bring. You’ll tug and catch and jump and roam, And children’s hearts will sing. Where happiness you’ll bring, You’ll tug a rope and catch some bees, And children’s hearts will sing. You’ll catch the cat who likes to tease. You’ll tug a rope and catch some bees, And maybe when you’re still a pup, You’ll catch the cat who likes to tease, But then we’ll all grow up. And maybe when you’re still a pup, Laughing kids will chase you down the street, But then we will all grow up And forget to let you eat. Laughing kids will chase you down the street. Then they’ll desert you in your yard And forget to let you eat. Howling alone at night in pain is hard. Then they’ll desert you in your yard. To the great beyond you’ll now ascend. Howling alone at night in pain is hard. You were our best friend to the end. To the great beyond you’ll now ascend. You’ll tug and catch and jump and roam. You were our best friend to the end. Welcome Frisky to your new home.

Outstanding Pantoum, David! You captured the essence of a dog from puppydom until death in his new home. This is truly brilliant. Glad I discovered your poetry. Am adding you to my 'followers' list. Have a great day, Sara

Thanks Sara. That's actually the first poem I wrote. I used Pantoum because a guy in the creative write club in my retirement community did a good job with one. I'm a novice and new to Poetrysoup. That's the true story of my childhood dog. Have a great day. Dave
