Lucy

This poem is another poem that is a result of a writing workshop. Hope you like it!

I used to be a dog named Lucy

I was everyone's best friend when no one else was around

I had eyes almost as dark as the most evil person

Strawberry-red tongue that was always hanging out of my mouth

And a creepy, yet comforting permanent smile on my face

My fur was brown and like clouds- anyone could get lost forever on the comforting sensation it provides

We did everything together, the children and I

They took me on walks- though they did all the walking

They gave me baths- though they were the ones to watch me spin in bubbly water

I wasn't like other dogs

But they loved me

And I loved them

Now I'm in a box with all the others.
