This Is What I Call A Loyal Love

Fur bounds, through the cottony breeze, to me.
On a warm, summery day,
the scent of dog resounds.

A wet nose, commiserate smile and hug.
Against my skin, he reclines.
I’m always home with him.

His eyes, see not, purple flowers blooming;
not intuitive of hue;
but bud’s loyal as bees.

My shoulder’s bare, does he know skin, or care?
He stays very close to me
and wanders nearly far.

My pretty dress and handsome hat amidst
the enchantment of meadow.
He doesn’t know its charm.

Obeys, he stays, protects territory.
A fine life, with benefits;
faithful to each other.

My memory thinks I've already commented, already told you that I enjoyed your poem very much. Most entries are about dogs, it seems, and I agree that intelligent breeds not only love you, but are extremely loyal. I hope that you have 'reality-known' such a faithful canine love. I am blessed to have known such in my life ... CayCay

I remember their personalities! Our beagle, Sparky loved watermelon and pizza. He was mischievous!

I love dogs, they are so loving, so caring, so furry and warm to come close to your legs and warms the cockles of your heart, their cold nose a reminder that they are quite well and enjoying their life with you. Hugs and love Jennifer.

This poem was for a contest. There was a picture that went with it. Now, I just have grand - dogs, cats, and bunnies. When my kids were little we had dogs, cats, a hamster and a bird (not all at the same time).
