Two New Poems

These are poems written about two pets. Topper, the Cule family dog (and literally the best dog in the world) and Chubbs (R.I.P), my sister's hamster, but in many ways, everyone's hamster, who had a wonderful life - being owned as she was by some goths, and called Satan. My sister took her on and, due to her colossal size and my sister's fear of Satan, renamed her Chubbs. Also, if you have a topic of a poem that you would like me to attempt then please feel free to make a request in the comments part (my sister requested these two, y'see).
Enjoy.


Topper the Morning To You

With a stretch and a sniff,
A growl and a groan,
A scratch of an itch,
And he’s ready to go.
Up the stairs, to spread his hairs,
Airs his hairs, he’s unawares of
Someone creeping down to say hello to him,
Then he hears it, and he’s ready.
Take me for a walk.
But they’ve already passed.
And he must wait his time.


Dear Chubbs

Oh, hairless hamster. Despite all
You were the loveliest of them all.
Scitter.
Scatter.
Pitter.
Patter.
Creeping through your plastic home,
Sleeping, snuggled, in amongst the straw. The cloth.
Our loss.
You are missed.





Bye and that.
