Weatherbound

Warmth shared inside the dog house As red cheeked sisters play Snug and safe from the snowy ground Mischief dances like rays_ Protected from the wind and snow Adults won't find them there As they giggle away the hour Secure without a care Scarves, coats, and a Collie puppy Heat within the shelter A warmth based upon human love Not on snowy weather Painting: Weatherbound Artist: Arthur John Elsley Sponsor: Isaiah Zerbst Contest: Let It Snow Written: January 14, 2014 A form of Poulter's Measure 8,6,8,6 with rhymes on the six

A perfect description of the painting! Many poets wrote on this particular painting, but this happens to be my favourite because it conveys to a fuller degree a feeling of warmth, security, and fun. Though brief, it says everything that needs to be said for a poem like this, so I am pleased that you stopped there instead of continuing as some others did.
