Perfection (For My Best Friend)

Just a passing thought...

Perfection rests at the end of my bed

He stares out the window through round golden eyes

Looking to catch a glimpse of his past, present, future

His make-up, his basic need

A bird lands on a branch, and his head is up

Velvet and smooth chocolate, his ears prick forward

The speckles of his fur dance down his back as he tenses

Great muscles launch into action

His tail hits a point, then wiggles just a hair

He looks back at me with those round almond eyes

And says, “Mom, come help me catch the bird”

And I come, and I pet those soft velvety ears and whisper

Perfection you are, my pup

I know, he seems so tense and serious, and then he looks at me with those big eyes and I have to laugh too!

Well written a great poem my little dog stalks birds like a cat then pounces but never comes close to them.

This is gorgeous. I can just picture the dog looking out the window. Sounds like my own dogs, lol.
