    pride

     While lost in dark and in a fog

    A man discovered a puppy dog

    Put on a leash he kept it near

    Soon his love, it was so dear

     

    At first fed scraps ever so small

    Puppies hardly require anything at all

    His appetite increased, desiring more to eat

    Larger he grew, his body, his head and his feet

     

    Now a dog he was out of control

    He ate the leash, the man, and his very soul

    This little puppy was the man’s ego inside

    Were he grew and grew into a dog named pride

    Oh this one...very,very, clever! Once in a blue moon, I will read something, and Ill think-By gosh, where did that writer come up with such a cool idea, What a mind-well,my dear-the moon must be the bluest of sapphire tonight...because this poem is the shiznit! How amazingly intresting this ending was. Yet so true, and once again-ya kept it simple! Which at times I find quite refreshing. Another goodie!-Maddi

    Thanks. A dog can be vicious, but not as vicious as pride. Glad you liked it.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
