Phantom Canine
A Poem Dedicated to Our Furry Companions
The dog. Man’s faithful companion. The moniker “Man’s Best Friend” hasn't come about for nothing.
The loyalty of the canine is unquestionable and endless. Sometimes, the poor creature doesn't realize it himself.
🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩
I wait quietly by the door
My patience has no end
My owner’s love, I implore
Him I will defend
🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩
The house is empty, silent, and bare
Within its doors, no sound;
Everything in disrepair
But I still pace around
🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩
All I pass now hesitate
And I do not understand
I always seem to agitate
Their fear I cannot comprehend
🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩
They cower, run, give chilling screams
It’s only me they see
Is it all a fleeting dream
Or is it really me?
🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🐶🐩🐶🐕🐩
Howling loudly Into the night
I give a mournful sigh;
Then I spot a grave by light
Within it I now lie.
