Diane Lefebvre Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

I'M Home

Pointed white ears - distorted
Through a window pane,
Twitch to the sound of
Footsteps on the walk way.

They wait - still as twin statues
Carved in alabaster.

Then - eye contact
Through a glistening glass.

Not a muscle moves, not a sound!

Key into the doorway of their world
Turns swiftly,
Its companions jingling impatiently.
 
Click, click -  then,
Nails - tough as nails,
Rake the back side of my front door.
Stir up the cooling embers of my heart.

Enter now into utter frenzy
Served up nightly.
A raucous welcome home party.

Whining, whirling, dancing, twirling.
Extreme tail misbehavior!

Running, jumping, licking, barking,
Ecstasy.

I'm Home!

The story like quality brings a friendly feeling to the reader and we can almost feel the excitement in the air at your arrival. Very well penned. Emile. #7++++ Diane Lefebvre March 8, 2015 at 11:48 AM Thank you once again Emile. I am an animal person, it is true and God's lesser creatures often inspire me to set 'pen to ink', or should I say 'fingers to keyboard'?

Must be awesome going home to this especially after a long day at work.#7 Diane Lefebvre March 8, 2015 at 11:55 AM Unfortunately those two little Westie dogs are no longer with me, but I have two more just like them that act in an identical manner. And your right, it is awesome and thank you for sampling that awesomeness.

Kim Shaw March 6, 2015 at 5:04 PM Hi Diane, such a sweet, lovely ode to their adulation and love. I have one who does the same. Very nice! Hugs, Kimberly Diane Lefebvre March 8, 2015 at 11:58 AM Are we not lucky to be so blessed? Thank you so much for your comments. To experience the love and loyalty of a dog, I think is a very special thing.
