I'M Home

Listen to poem:

Pointed white ears - distorted Through a window pane, Twitch to the sound of Footsteps on the walk way. They wait - still as twin statues Carved in alabaster. Then - eye contact Through a glistening glass. Not a muscle moves, not a sound! Key into the doorway of their world Turns swiftly, Its companions jingling impatiently. Click, click - then, Nails - tough as nails, Rake the back side of my front door. Stir up the cooling embers of my heart. Enter now into utter frenzy Served up nightly. A raucous welcome home party. Whining, whirling, dancing, twirling. Extreme tail misbehavior! Running, jumping, licking, barking, Ecstasy. I'm Home! © 2015 Diane Lefebvre

Thank you once again Emile. I am an animal person, it is true and God's lesser creatures often inspire me to set 'pen to ink', or should I say 'fingers to keyboard'?

Unfortunately those two little Westie dogs are no longer with me, but I have two more just like them that act in an identical manner. And your right, it is awesome and thank you for sampling that awesomeness.

Hi Diane, such a sweet, lovely ode to their adulation and love. I have one who does the same. Very nice! Hugs, Kimberly

Are we not lucky to be so blessed? Thank you so much for your comments. To experience the love and loyalty of a dog, I think is a very special thing.
