Or an ordinary gardener
and her dog named Theo?
My dog is clever.
Not only does he enjoy
poking his nose in the warm
soil as I was plant seedlings,
he is also quite resourceful..
Write a poem inspired by your pet. Begin with one singularly detailed sentence. Break your sentence into lines to create a single stanza poem.
/ People who say that fish have no personalities / have never held a fish in their hands / while changing the fishtank water, / feeling the small body flail in such choked / desperation that you suddenly understand / what it means to touch a scream. /
Example:
My Fish
People who say that fish have no personalities
have never held a fish in their hands
while changing the fishtank water,
feeling the small body flail in such choked
desperation that you suddenly understand
what it means to touch a scream.
Now, write another. Pets make great fodder for writing. Consider writing a poem after .
