My Special Friend

With a gentle kiss on my unshaven cheek
We cuddle close
But do no speak
I feel you staring
I look, you turn away
Your heartbeat quickens, still nothing to say
Those admiring eyes and that perfect face
I reach for you and a quick embrace
Unconditional love is your forte'
Your normal routine is to lounge all day
I buy you things
Gifts, from the heart
I tell you things because you are smart
You're always cheerful, never moody
And when you walk
You shake your booty
You melt other people 
Just like putty
But to me--- 
You're just my dog "Buddy"


   an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner

Buddy is lucky to have such a devoted daddy, and one who has a delightful sense of humor. Well done, Daniel.

I've written dozens of poems about my dachshund Bonzo. Dogs are wonderful pets. Many of your sentiments in your poem echo mine as well. Many thanks for the stop by. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
