Safe Area Poems | Examples

My Terrier

I sat at my desk, watching my terrier paw pillows
on my bed in order to make a nest.

I said to my terrier, "If I had the money, I would build
a fine tunnel from the bedroom
to your own dog-den, a safe area of rest.

There, you could sometimes go and live dog life
at dog's life best."

I beamed at her with my suggested benevolence.

My terrier then collapsed into my pillows-
Unimpressed.
