James Fraser Poet Quatrain

Golden and Gorgeous

Just over four years ago
A question was asked
Do we get a pet
And answer our ask

So we consulted the kids
As they gave us choices
For in our family
We listen to voices 

A cat would be nice
But sadly not
As we have asthma in the family
So a cat was not sought

No bird or rabbit or even a fish
Was in the thoughts of our children's wish
One thought, that did spring to mind
A breed of dog of the most beautiful kind

They are small and cuddly
With different colours of coats
But the one we went for
And we forever dote

His name is Digger
Which is his Pedigree name
He is a Golden Cocker Spaniel
From dog show fame

Through good days and bad days
He is always happy and playing
Our most delightful pet
Who treats all days the same

John Freeman March 7, 2010 at 7:57 AM This type make one of the most awesome pets James. I had one of this breed once. He related to humans more than any dog I've own sence. Agape, Moses

Carrie Richards March 7, 2010 at 7:41 AM What a delightful quatrain, James. There is nothing quite like the companionship of a favorite pet to complete the family circle. By coincidence, my entry for Constance's contest is also about a childhood friend...another "Digger" !! :) Good luck in the contest with your poem about your "Digger"!!
