My Little Snow-White Golden Girl
18 August 2005

If you were to ask me
for a definition of
reciprocated love
and untainted happiness
wrapped into one . . .

wordlessly,
I would show you
my fluffy, white, near-blind, little Daisy-dog
bounding towards me
with joyful little barks.

Would you agree that it's at times hard to find words describing one's love for their pets?
I like poetry that includes animals and people interacting with each other.

May the winds sweep through the moonless sky....

This is about the 4th time in fewer minutes that I have tried to reply.  I hope I haven't entered 4 copies of various stages of my reply.  I was hopping backwards and forwards to read each reply and somehow I landed up with 2 copies of the forum.  I hope I have it right this time.

Thank you Lee.  I am glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, I agree with you ManOfWolves.  Thank you for your response.

Connie, I am so very, very sad to hear about your bird.  I will look out for your poem.  I am a terrible coward about reading sad animal/bird poetry, though.

Martie also lost a bird and wrote a beautiful poem about it.  I can't remember the name of the poem, but if you do a search on Martie's poems (I think it may have been in Open Poetry #36 in the Archives) you will find it.

Connie, Martie's poem is called: "A Canary Watches the Passing of the Sun".

It's a pleasure, Connie.

Oh, Kate, she is!  As you know, I am an Estate Agent - and somebody whose house I sold asked me to take her and Mo, their cat (I go moggy over the animals of all the houses I visit, before I can concentrate on the house!).  I said I couldn't take Mo because Tigger, my cat, wouldn't like it as he had been King of the Walk for 9 years (that was nearly 2 years ago), but I found Mo a wonderful home.  I said that seeing Daisy was used to a cat, if Tigger accepted her, I could take Daisy.  Tigger did and so Daisy became part of the family nearly 2 years ago, and what a delightful darling she is.  And you are so right - she is a Daisy Dream Girl.
