Linda-Marie Sweetheart Poet Rhyme

Watching and Waiting

"Watching and Waiting"

six sets of watchful eyes peer impishly
surveying each move my footprint takes
they try to appear waiting quite sheepishly
as I stroll into the kitchen, the carpeting earthquakes.

twenty-four feet hurriedly stand to touch the ground
stalking my every step with rapid heartbeats
their "big brother" prancing escalates to astound
as I reach into the pantry for delicious treats.

swift jumping and cajoling, strong serenade begins
overpowered, I submit to demands and requests
a brood of hungry canines and felines always wins
how does one say "no" to rambunctious animal pets?


*For Black Eyed Susan's Biig Brother Watching You and Why Contest..
