Eve Roper Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Peanut has been with us since he was 6 weeks old, he is now 9. 

 

Peanut Yorkshire Terrier

My Favorite Animal
A Dog
Yorkshire Terrier 
My Dog Peanut 

A standard Yorkie over sixteen pounds, 
Long silky ash coat with beautiful brown 
Blond mane. Fast, energetic, never down 
Especially if there squirrels around. 

Gentle and playful; friendly yet spunky; 
Always wants to play. Loves loud squeaky toys, 
Newspapers, cardboard one of his mixed joys. 
A purse unwatched, he can be too sneaky. 

He will go and explore and like a cat, 
Jumps on the sofa, coffee table, chair 
Or on my bed where we share to sleep there. 
Visits the neighbors for mere pats and chat. 

He is my pet, but also my dear friend 
From morning dawn arise 'till night descend.

Andrea Dietrich January 26, 2020 at 2:37 PM thanks for the model for what you expect in your contest, Eve. I take it that we don't need to incoporate the "never complains" part into our entries. It seems you are looking for a tribute to a great pet, such as your yorkshire terrior here.He sounds great fun. I love the part about the unwatched purse!!
