Today's NaPoWriMo prompt has me writing about dogs. This particular poem is about a dog that loves to sit high on a fence and bark at everyone, whether they are driving a car, riding their bike, or walking nearby. I like to think this dog is friendly and just wants to say hello.
Sometimes you startle me when I walk by you
On my way to take the kids to school.
The loud noises you make can be surprising.
Sometimes you make me smile to see you there
On top of the fence every day greeting me
And everyone else who walks by your yard.
You must love people, or maybe you are lonely?
Do you want a friend to say hello to you?
You never try to jump down from your high perch.
You never chase the kids or the cars.
You never bite or growl.
You just sit there on the fence
And bark to all who will listen.
Well, friend, I hear you, and I say hello.
