My Dog Doppelganger

If I had to say for sayings sake
Just because a friend wanted to know
If I was a dog, what kind would I make?
I don't like the heat so give me some snow

A Saint Bernard rescuing the stranded
seems my kind of a rural life
No big city kitties could I be branded
No yorky cuddled with a house wife

Depth, strong, solid, loyal and helpful
That's what I have in me to be
Though along the way I'll make a snow angel 
Then learn to snowboard and ski!

Judy Ball Date: 8/3/2011 9:46:00 PM Excellent. I love all dogs, cats anything that walks, crawls or flys except for spiders, etc. I can even get used to lizards and snakes if I have to though they are not my faves. Dogs, cats and horses are my faves. Have never been without several dogs and at least one cat in my house. It just isn't home without them. God Bless, JB Login to Reply

Judy Ball Date: 7/16/2011 6:53:00 AM This is great stuff. Loved it. Great imagery and I could see the big dog bounding through the snow. It would be great for a children's book. Can't you see this big dog on a snow board. Great Stuff. This one made me smile. God Bless,\JB Login to Reply

Jarid Miller Date: 7/10/2011 6:03:00 PM This is a really great poem. I find that dogs are more loyal to you then friends are. I still miss my dog, had him 14 great years and he was suddenly taken from me. Well done with this lovely poem! Login to Reply

Rockman Pritts Date: 7/10/2011 5:48:00 PM There you go Doris. Even though it was just one more verse, you brought it to a close. Now the poem is complete. Well done. Rockman :-) Login to Reply

Daver Austin Date: 7/10/2011 12:09:00 PM A noble dog, the St. Bernard. When I was a kid I wanted one to wrestle with. With a name like Doppleganger, the dog must come from Berlin. Good reading! Love, daver Login to Reply

Don Johnson Date: 7/10/2011 1:29:00 AM Saint Sernard you'd be a card, pooching in the snow, the little keg, suck the dregs, onward rescue go:) Great verse babe, xo, Don Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/10/2011 12:44:00 AM This is short, but I love it. It's so clever, Doris. To think of doing it this way. Wish I'd thought of it. But I went and did a horribly long one that I'm almost too afraid to post yet. If I were an animal.... definitely a cat!!(a cute little persian that nobody would want to harm. haha) Login to Reply Doris Culverhouse Date: 7/10/2011 12:54:00 PM I like it.....

Rockman Pritts Date: 7/9/2011 9:21:00 PM This poem was ok for me Doris. Cute in it's own way. But it left me wanting more. I think you should have expanded on it. Show us what makes the life of a Saint Bernard so desirable. Create a scenario of a day in the life. Even so, I enjoyed the two stanzas the you gave us. Thanks for writing. Rockman Login to Reply
