My Dog
#WritcoPoemPrompt72
Just sit back
And I’ll tell you a tale
Of a dog who was given the name of a king.
Oh Seleukos, I couldn’t compare
not even one piece, of that beautiful hair.
You saved my life
And almost at the cost of your own.
I thought I lost you once
Dreadful seizures almost took you home.
A tick’s bite wasn’t enough
To drain you of your delight.
Vicious as our battle has been,
Our hearts have only grown closer toward the end.
