I am a pitbull some might say, but have a tender heart
I wonder about internet, of wich we all take part
I hear the music in your words, when I read all your rhymes
I see the laughter on your face, when you read mine sometimes
I want to write good English poems, but I am not so smart
I am a pitbull some might say, but have a tender heart

I pretend I make a difference, in all the things I do
I feel the burden of all sorrows, even those of you
I touch the soul of someone far, hope it will touch me back
I worry ‘bout my gain of weight, cause I love every snack
I cry when children die of thirst, it isn’t a good start
I am a pitbull some might say, but have a tender heart


I understand staying up late, will undermine my health
I say difference should be less, b’tween poverty and wealth
I dream the world would come to be, a better place for all
I try to fight for all things worth, but I am just too small
I hope we’ll always stay connected, through the words of art
I am a pitbull some might say, but have a tender heart


Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

If you're a pitbull, I'm glad you're OUR pitbull!  You excelled at the challenge, Titia...and very well, indeed!

Titia - well done indeed
but here:

I want to write good English poems, but I am not so smart

I do disagree - you have taught me much here alone

Hugs to all of you, my dear friends and Dutch knuffels too.

Yes, sometimes I'm a pitbull when it comes to fighting for something I believe in or when I see someone has set truth on a detour

But most of the time I'm just a little puppy.

a pitbull can be a puppy,
and a puppy can be a pitbull.
Both have qualities to admire,
enjoyed the poem.
