Butter

by Michael D Nalley   Jan 11, 2012


The pup of Peanut, Butter is her name.
I did not raise her, she loves me the same.
It has been long since I lost my best pet.
I am healing, but not over Littleman yet,
Some friends are just not easy to forget,
but Butter and I bonded the first time we met.
She shivers and pants at the same time.
Sometimes it's hard to see her reason or rhyme.
She is smart as a whip, though sly as a cat.
It will take a while to get used to that.
I'm sure she wiill be loyal to the end,
because her kind is mans best friend.

    I love this Michael D, you are super awesome maaan :)

    A tiny suggestion to continue the flow:
    "She shivers and pants at the same time."
    Could be like:
    "She shivers and pants somehow at the same time."

    And
    "I'm sure she wiill be loyal to the end,"
    ^^
    Take off the double "ii"

    Great job.

    Awww!!!

    Firstly Dogs are my absolute favorite animals

    This poem was so lovely and it made me smile and think of my own dog

    "I did not raise her but she loves me the same"

    I love this - I assume you adopted a pup while they were older. It is so true though they love you unconditionally.

    "She shivers and pants at the same time"

    I could have sworn you were writing this poem about my dog. She shivers when she's scared and piddles when she meets someone new

    I really enjoy this poem!!!
