My Dog

Young and Bright
His eyes so sweet
He’s only 3 weeks

Playful and Joyful
all about fun
Experimenting with his dog toys
He’s only 5

Fearless and Careless
Big back yard yet to be explored
So ready to explore
He’s only 7

Expressive and Dramatic
Ready to Achieve
The world is at his paws
He’s only 11

Old and Crabby
Ready to Die
He lies in the back yard ready to die
He’s only 15

Gone and Dead
Buried in the back yard
Under his favorite place, the tree
If he was still alive he would be 23

  3. Wow, what I like most about this poem is that as you show your dog getting older, the mood of the poem changes.
