in the way in which she is greeted at the door.

Through the door of her home she enters
and with her foot, shuts it behind her.
Up she looks to the top of the stairs
where sits a dark outline of her dog;
not stirring, nor leeping, nor waging its tail.
It just watches her every move
with an observant curiousity
unlike most pet dogs that usually
are more quick to greet their owners.
Tonight, it just watches her.
It doesn't acknowledge her.
much like him.

In the dark she thinks to the dog,
You can see me, quite clearly.
You can see me, just like he sees me.

Without anymore thought,
she walks on past the stairs
and through the downstairs of the house,
and leaves the dog to the nonconcious of her mind,
until they meet again. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 155 [topic] => 25 [informant] => she_smiles [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

There is poetry
in the way in which she is greeted at the door.

Through the door of her home she enters
and with her foot, shuts it behind her.
Up she looks to the top of the stairs
where sits a dark outline of her dog;
not stirring, nor leeping, nor waging its tail.
It just watches her every move
with an observant curiousity
unlike most pet dogs that usually
are more quick to greet their owners.
Tonight, it just watches her.
It doesn't acknowledge her.
much like him.

In the dark she thinks to the dog,
You can see me, quite clearly.
You can see me, just like he sees me.

Without anymore thought,
she walks on past the stairs
and through the downstairs of the house,
and leaves the dog to the nonconcious of her mind,
until they meet again.

I think the poem is a little boring. I understand the idea behind it, however, I feel as if you don't get any real emotion behind it. It leaves the reader wanting nothing. No offense.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
