Sparky Poems - Poems about Sparky

I've never, ever seen my dog, 'Cause he does not exist. I try to explain this fact to him, But the truth he does resist. He says to me, "I have no bowl." I say, "You do not eat." He says, "We never go for walks." I say, "You have no feet." But he insists, "I bark all day." I say,...

I know I'm 41 now, But the kid just trying to be silly, Make people laugh, Make them lose themselves, Find themselves, That kid is still manning the controls.

Happy 5th birthday have you accepted rape into your life, It's a patriarchal practice built from sadism and male strife, A hedonistic ritual to keep us all under control, The birthright of masculinity bestowed upon all men young and old, They'll decry our institution of commercialized fear funded by the tax payer's dime, But don't let them hide the irrevocable...

To Sparky, With Love Sparky, you died of a heart attack today, You died in my arms, on the way to the vet. I tried to save you, but it was all in vain, You need to know, you’re the most loving dog I ever met. As I sit here with pen in hand, Tears are streaming down my face. The...

I had an old friend One I’ll never forget. We were always together From the time that we met. Yes, we were unique It’s tough to explain When one of us hurt We both felt the pain. My friend wasn’t human And his breed wasn’t pure He was part Lab Retriever The other part I’m not sure. I called him Sparky His fur was pitch-black He had a nice...
