My Dog

Kimberley Hamilton

Frolicking, jumping and running free,
I hope you know how much you mean to me,
Eyes like saucers and a button nose,
Peacefully sleeping I watch you dose.

Through mountains and forests and hills we'd climb,
I am so glad that you are mine,
Through the years faithful and true,
You are my dog and I love you.

About this poem

A poem about a dog and how faithful it is. I got my dog at eleven. He is now fifteen. The poem is more in line with having the dog from a puppy.

    I absolutely love your poem "My Dog"! The imagery you use to describe your dog frolicking, jumping, and running free is so vivid and heartwarming. The line "Eyes like saucers and a button nose" paints a beautiful picture of your furry friend. The sentiment of gratitude and love you express towards your dog is truly heart-touching.

    To make your poem even stronger, you could consider adding more specific details about your dog's unique characteristics or quirks that make them special to you. This could further personalize the poem and create a deeper connection with the reader.

    Overall, your poem is beautiful and captures the pure bond between a dog and its owner. Keep up the great work!
