Best Setter Poems

Pace Setter

young dog tugging fore
suddenly old dragging aft;
any age, they set pace.


Poem suddenly came to me while walking my 11-year old lab/dane X (labadane) and remembering how he used to pull me along....

Don't be angry and drowned in sad
Cos no one meant to be led

A blur of chestnut red, 
Igniting us with canine love,
And nestling by our bed. 

Chasing swallows in the park 
That teased you in their flight, 
Relentlessly you chase them still. 
In the fading springtime light.

Every time I make the...

It is better,
In a letter,
To your mind unfetter:
Your claims of being a pace-setter,
And a neglected go-getter.

Better in a letter,
