Murray

I have a new pet guinea pig He's cute and brown and furry. I winked at him, he squeaked at me, I think I'll call him Murray. He likes to sit upon my legs While I stroke his head. We played a game of hide and seek Under the covers of my bed. He likes to run around my room, I have to shut the door. And then I have to pick up poop That he leaves all over the floor. I feed him carrots and apples And pellets from the store. And whenever I give him a special treat He squeals and squeals for more. We play out in my sandbox, My guinea pig and me. I give him dandelions and grass to eat Under the shade of the old oak tree. When I'm feeling lonely Or when I'm feeling blah, I just go and talk to Murray And pet his furry paw.

Debie,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
