Milo

A hilarious dog

Milo

A big white dog chews on his bone

He looks up at me with a grin on his face

You can tell he's in his home

And that he knows he's in the right place

I get up and go to the door

He gets up too and looks at me funny

As I reach for the handle, he jumps 'round the floor

I let him outside, and he zooms past me agilely

He runs all the way from the lawn to the road

And then along the orchard fence slaloming trees

He comes bounding back to our sleepy abode

Then sneezes and jumps backwards absurdly

Thus begins the quest for a ball

He puts his head down taking in scents

He finds it and gets in an army crawl

He snaps his jaws shut and tears off hellbent

On having such fun so he lets out a bellow

That makes me stare at my handsome dog Milo.

Author's Note

I'm just starting out writing various things, so please don't be too harsh, but I welcome any criticism you may have that you think could help me write better poems in the future. What I was trying to do here was create a mood that anyone who ever had a dog can relate to.
