My puppy is soft like silk, gentle and kind

 

My back-up backbone, a savior so quiet,

 

A gift from a loved one, proudly he’s mine.

 

Silent all day, listens all night, he needs no necessities, a sublime diet

 

He chews troublesome troubles, sips homesickness,

 

Tiny paws hold tremors of a boy missing his misses.

 

My puppy loves me lots, with every seamless stitch, with gentle lightning quickness,

 

Metaphorical magical magnificent, wet-tongue-kisses,

 

A hero with beady eyes,

 

A gentle earth shaking love quaking adversity,

 

Holding happiness still until tranquil sunrise.

 

And as this boy lies at night so imperfectly,

 

His puppy curls against his chest, a blessing from above,

 

Pristine, perfect, pure, call it puppy love.

This is an ode to a little stuffed animal who helped me through the worst bout of homesickness I hope I ever feel.
