Susan Woodrow Poet Acrostic

Kona Bear

Knowing browns of molten Tiger’s Eye give me a loving look
One ear cocked, and the other is always half-flopped just so
Now and then, her exuberance forgets she’s a large Alsatian
as she snuggles for cuddles as a wiggly fur ball named Kona…

Bearing colors of her timber wolf kin, she is more like a lamb
Eagerly, she’ll swim to fetch a stick, which she’ll then go hide
away in the thick bramble she will scramble while I yell whoa!
Returning home, she’ll lick my toes till I’m filled with laughter...

Susan Woodrow January 6, 2020 at 12:55 AM glad it brought you a smile...I live with three dogs, a cat, and a turtle - none of which are mine but we are all very attached to each other and since their owners are gone most of the day, we have gotten very used to each other and they take me for walks most days :)

Chris Green December 12, 2019 at 12:28 PM This was a beautiful acrostic and I could feel the love in each line. Pets are wonderful and do make life so much more "Bear"able. Your pup sounds amazing and so lovable. Susan Woodrow December 12, 2019 at 12:38 PM thank you Chris...that's true...she is very bear-huggable. She's actually a room-mate's but we've sort of adopted each other and she spends more time with me since I work from home, while her owner's gone most of the day :)

Ann Foster December 12, 2019 at 9:28 AM This was wonderful. I was right(write) there with you. Lovely imagery, excellent giggles... Ann Susan Woodrow December 12, 2019 at 11:14 AM glad you enjoyed it, Ann..yes, Kona can always make me laugh or make me move (I get very sluggish when the weather turns chilly) as she insists on getting her way, in a very charming manner :)
