Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

True Story . after a week, my face is almost back to normal!

For Janice Canerdy's Trimeric, 2 Poetry Contest

_______________________________________________________________________

Our Doggy's Claws - TRI

Our dog, named Lucy, though she’s sweet,
How sharp can be that doggy’s claws.
A bite from her would be no treat.
I hope to never feel her jaws.

How sharp can be that doggy’s claws.
The other day by accident
she scratched my face (no harm was meant).

A bite from her would be no treat.
The scratch she left me on my face
is bad enough! It left its trace.

I hope to never feel her jaws.
That sure would hurt. For now, this scratch
with make-up I will need to patch.

Sara Kendrick September 23, 2024 at 1:28 AM Ahh!! The puppy stage can bring some injuries from both teeth and feet. Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Sara K

Ink Empress September 22, 2024 at 2:07 AM Dear sweet Andrea, You wrote about this experience so well. What an engaging write! I am scared of dogs, hah.

Sending you light always Andrea Dietrich September 22, 2024 at 1:41 PM Sure wish hubby would not insist on having hugs dogs. Small ones are so much easier

Your poem shows me what I miss having pets. Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Andrea Dietrich September 21, 2024 at 4:23 PM haha. It's always something or other.

John Read September 21, 2024 at 11:17 AM As you say Lucy would never intentionally harm you, that event may win you the poetry contest Andrea. Andrea Dietrich September 21, 2024 at 1:38 PM It would be nice. I forgot to put TRI after my title last time. Almost forgot it this time

Len Gasun September 21, 2024 at 10:55 AM A well crafted Trimeric my dearest poet friend Andrea. I like it a lot and enjoyed but I'm so sorry for Lucy's scratches to you. She didn't mean it. She still loves you much and very loyal to you. I enjoyed this superb write and I love it. A winner for me. Thanks a lot for sharing. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs Andrea Dietrich September 21, 2024 at 1:37 PM Thanks so much, sweet Len.

Paula Goldsmith September 21, 2024 at 9:22 AM I enjoyed reading your doggy write. Sorry about your scratched face. I Love Animals.  "Good Luck" Have a blessed/fun weekend................ Andrea Dietrich September 21, 2024 at 1:36 PM Thanks, Paula

Kim Rodrigues September 21, 2024 at 7:51 AM Wow! I feel your angst. Very scary the time my son in law brought over his parent’s mastiff who put his teeth on the bones of my wrist. I was bit when I was but five, in the butt! Have tried to overcome my fear. Feel better! Andrea Dietrich September 21, 2024 at 1:34 PM I was told animals can smell fear, so when I meet a strang dog on the street I just walk past like I don't care. Never been bitten. I hear same thing about bees. I just ignore them if one buzzed around me. I don't suppose it would always work though!

Panagiota Romios September 21, 2024 at 2:10 AM Perfect pen, desrves high rank .take care, Pangie... I luv dogs!,,, Andrea Dietrich September 21, 2024 at 1:36 PM Thanks, my friend
