Nette Onclaud Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

               

Seasons With Snickers

Lavish mealtimes, Snicks would evade
          She grew weak though paws jumped around
        Clinging tighter, sweeter than dachsund licks;

 Then... on fateful one noon, she simply heaved her last
          Wink of dachshund eyes locked upon mine ,
       The rain tears tapping, d r i f t i n g   on my bosom  --

  Reveries of us brought raw pain, immeasurable joy
         You, not a heartbeat far from my soul
     That I rocked you where our herbal bush rested. Ever.
                       
                      )  *
                            ))

Rob Carmack August 24, 2020 at 4:15 PM I can not wait to see all of my dogs again. Congrats to you, this poem is one of the favorites I have read from this contest.

Sam Kauffman August 24, 2020 at 3:16 PM Congratulations on your winning placement, Nette. Beautiful poetic phrases "not a heartbeat far from my soul." Our Wheaten Terrier before Ted was named Snickers. She was a character.

Andrea Dietrich August 20, 2020 at 3:51 PM wow, Nette. I just LOVE this. I think you might know, our dog is also named Snickers. I think he is around five years old now so hopefully he has a number of years left in him. Must have been so hard for you to see him go. Constance will just love this one. FAVE

DM Babbit August 19, 2020 at 10:38 AM Oh Nette, you brought tears to my eyes, I have a weenie dog and he's name is Snickers, actually my sister named him Snicker Doodle, but what a wonderful expression of an unbroken bond. Good luck in the contest. DMB
