Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

If I Could Be Your Furry Friend

Written: April 30, 2026, for a contest sponsored by: Natasha L Scragg 

                                ***********************

If I could change my shape today,  
I'd choose a pet that's bright in play. 
A fluffy friend with charm to spare,  
who’d scamper laughing through my hair.  

I might become a fox of gold,  
with twinkling paws and a heart so bold. 
Who trots to you at break of dawn,  
and curls beside you on the lawn.  

Or maybe I’d be something new—  
a sky-blue cat with eyes of dew.  
Who purrs in rhymes and hums in time,  
and dances silly pantomime.  

Or I could be a bunny sweet,  
soft as clouds from head to feet.  
Who hops around you in delight,  
and makes your whole world feel bright.  

But no matter which form I choose,  
with paws or claws or floppy shoes,  
I’d visit you with joy unplanned—  
Your loyal friend at your command.

Hilda Greenhough April 30, 2026 at 9:57 PM I enjoy this. It has a nursery rhyme quality that I never outgrew. Good luck with the contest.
