Beata Agustin Poet Rhyme

If I Were a Pet

I want to be a bunny
so awesomely funny
with antics that are zany
for granddad and grand nanny.

To them I'll bring warmth sweetly
midst interactions friendly
knowing they like me surely 
as good pets, very dearly.

There's something I wish to be
not a mammal that's furry
since I want wings, you see
soaring up high, heavenly.
 
I would be a busy bee
constantly buzzing with glee
thanking God in my blest spree
cheerful while flying free.

Here and there, I sing gaily
praising the good Lord* daily
optimizing time surely
midst strength's zest, never vainly.

From my usual hive, I flee
not to a flower or tree
but toward food factory
that uses bees' victory.

I'm purposed for great journey
production of much honey
optimizing well money
to supply all and many.

Grateful that I'm blest fully 
sans sting midst peace joyously
I'll do my role faithfully
for the Creator blissfully.


*Psalm 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Natasha L Scragg May 4, 2026 at 6:17 AM Thank you for your entry Beata. Love the way you connect the creatures to the creator. In the bible, he is referred to as "the happy God" [1Timothy1:11] and his creation brings him joy. I like the way this connection helps the reader to consider a trio perspective. That of the animal, that of people and that of God. :-D Beata Agustin July 17, 2026 at 8:55 PM Thanks... God bless you with His joy and wisdom. Thanks likewise for sponsoring contests that hone poetic creativity.
