Georgia

A bundle of energy from head to toe

with wide- eyed innocence you claimed me.

Barking frantically at your reflection in the mirror

laughing to myself, who could blame me?

You love to snuggle up close on the couch

your sturdy little body warms me.

Your gentle breathing calms my soul

 seems like nothing, now, could harm me.

Those perky pink ears that crown your head

although perfect and quite endearing,

are pawns in Mother Nature’s game of chess

you were born without your hearing.

But you possess what the blind can see

and also what the deaf can hear.

Love that transcends all space and time

Georgia, you’re forever, on my mind.

Author's Note

I had to post this poem about my little grand dog again because, well.....she is just too cute :-)

Now, how could anyone tell you love that little dog? Writing poems about it--sheesh. I'm kidding, of course. I'm a dog person, so I understand. Cats are fine, but dogs love us more deeply, don't they? A clever, well-written poem, as always. Now I'll picture your l'il white Georgia when I hear that song.

Ha ha she has me wrapped around all four little paws. I am a dog lover too. They do seem to have a much deeper connection with us. Her deafness makes her want to stay close all the more. I am so glad you enjoyed my poem. I had fun writing it :-)

I just love the name Bella. Is that her pictured in your profile photo? So happy you enjoyed my poem. Georgia is a character and has me laughing all the time. Take care!
