The first dog i ever had was Snoopy. I found he when I went sleigh riding with one of my friends. I played hooky from school that day because of the snowfall...lol It was well worth it.
It was the last snowfall of winter's end I went out sleighing with my best friend Twelve inches of snow ~ sunny skies ~ a perfect blend We trekked with cardboard boxes ~ around the bend A long dirt path ~ through baron woods A red fox curled in a ball ~ he caught my eye Quietly we walked ~ as we passed him by We covered our faces with our jacket hoods A mile walk ~ was sleigh-ride hill A refrigerator box was our perfect ride And so was it Snoop's ~ when he jumped inside Woohoo ~ Yee haw ~ a winter's end thrill Snooping around ~ before he jumped inside A stray puppy ~ a beagle ~ lost and alone We played ~ his tail wagged ~ I took him home He was scared ~ but playful ~ he barked and cried Mom said "no" ~ I cried ~ she felt sad Begging her please ~ she finally gave in I knew if I cried, I'd eventually win I named him Snoopy~ he was the first dog I ever had Of winter's end~ this sure was the best The towns people knew him ~ he was liked by them all They knew I had found him ~ at sleigh-ride hill by the mall I had him for sixteen years ~ I was blessed Enclosed Rhyme - September 2018 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Dear Heart 9/19/2018
