Ode to my Dog
December 1, 2020
Arriving at my house on a summer's day
Perky little ears the whole family would say
Tiny paws that pittered and pattered
If u ate our dinner, it did not matter
I loved your bark, it rang through the house
Our mornings would never be as quiet as a mouse
We filled you with treats, you were never taunted
I appreciate the wake up call, even though it was unwanted
Wagging your cute tail throughout the halls
Bought a new can of paint to fix the scratched walls
We’ll love you forever and this is your home
Even though you buried the garden gnome.

During my freshman year of highschool, we were instructed to create a poetry portfolio consisting of different types of poems with a variety of themes. I have a dog named Buster that I absolutely adore. So, when I found out that I had to write an ode, I knew it would be an ode to my dog. After finishing my poem, Ode to my Dog ended up being my favorite poem out of all the poems in the portfolio.
