For the Love of Dogs

Here’s one of my early poems – I look back on it now and think "what was I thinking!?#?" but I want to show everyone that you’ve got to start somewhere.
I know, I know – it's not very subtle, but it was a tough time for me back then, and if it wasn’t for my two darlings, Missy and Herman, and for writing, it would have been really hard for me to get through all that.

For the Love of Dogs

I’ve spent years gnawing at your bone.
Yet here I am.
Alone.

My life has turned into one big
Game of fetch

And so
I return to your doghouse.
Where I walk around and around
But never settling.

There’s no use trying
I feel like crying
Inside I’m dying

I am off your leash
with no hint of shmacko.

Or
Good-o.


And that's it!

LoL (Lots of Love)

Leeanne x.
