My Dog

My dog has eyes of amber and onyx —
Unguarded windows to his heart.
My dog’s ears are velvet black,
And when he waves his feathered tail, it smiles.
My dog loves to sniff, chase sticks
And roll in green grass.
He buries himself under fresh snow
Or, whooshes over the top like a rocket.
My dog has go-fast legs;
When he runs. He is the wind.
My dog loves the car windows down,
and reaches, reaches into rain, sun or snow.
My dog likes a kiss on his head before he eats,
And curls into a small circle when he sleeps.
My dog is beautiful and funny.
His name is Mickey.
Nickname: Hollywood.
Other nickname: My Everything.
