If Not For Love

If Not For Love
by Michael R. Burch, circa age 18

The little child who cries,
brushing sleep from startled eyes,
might not have awakened from her dreams
to fill the night with plaintive screams
if not for love.

The little collie pup
who tore the sofa up
and pleads here in a mournful crouch,
might not have ripped apart the couch
if not for love.

And

there is a pup named Jack
boundless energy he doesn’t lack
with teeth s sharp
and a nasty bark
he finds chasing cats ecstatic

On a pretty funny note
Pup eats paper like a goat
Digests it pretty easily too
Will he have such good luck with daddy’s shoe?

Premium MemberOne Faithful Friend



Tiny pink flower, so alone, 
In verdant fields, how you've grown. 
                   No hands to nourish, none to tend,
We all long for one faithful friend.

Just a single cloud in the sky, 
Waiting for a mate to float

In the mountains, lived a special pup
He was gentle, kind and so amazing
His antics were true, never made up
My meals he was forever appraising
He often seemed to be star gazing

In the hills, where this guy was born
There lived a kitten with dark gray fur
He often felt her exasperating scorn
His life went by so fast, it’s

Premium MemberPuppy Love


"over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar ... Samual Taylor Coleridge

There lived no better heart to know.
His love was like a light,
Coloring lives in visions of gold,
Softest visions, alive, so bold,
Beautiful rhythms who never grow old.

His name was Oscar, so beloved I am told,
He held secrets that would never be sold,
Offered

Premium MemberMamma Mia

The Abba clones were about to perform
Suddenly Bob felt his feet wet and warm
Anna screamed "diarrhea!"
Mum yelled "mamma mia"
While their pug pup hid inside its fly swarm

Pip had gifted the gig wet smelly poop
Made Anna gag as she shoveled each scoop
At an abnormal level
A proud deed for this devil
For its contents were like newt eye

Premium MemberYou Had To Bring Her a Wolf Pup

When Daddy brought Serena a wolf pup
He did not realize what would happen
When the pup grew up and became her guardian

Serena did not have to do her homework or wash dishes.
If they mentioned it, Gray Wolf would growl a warning
Her parents had never been bitten

But they did not get that close to Gray Wolf’s teeth
