Bella!

poem by: Ann Parks
Written on Oct 20, 2014 

Bella! Bella!
heard me shouting
down the phoneline yesterday.
"her ears are up she's looking for you"
Paul my friend delighted says.

Bella Bella
clever doggy
markings like a badger's face
a stick too long 
you valiantly carry
and work out how
to get indoors!

Bella Bella
charms old ladies
they give you crackling : 
"take it home!"
you eat the cat food 
on their back steps
still they love you
crafty dog!

Bella Bella 
sensing each soul
my friends so poor
often don't eat
but they never 
ever starve you
they just put 
their dreams on hold.

Bella Bella 
naughty doggy
you came 
you sniffed 
you caught their vibe
you growl
you play
you lick their faces
you give them love
worth more than gold!
