Poetry Days: Duchess

I wrote this poem when I was around 3rd-5th grade. Unfortunately, I somewhere lost my childhood creative writing notebook in the move from Asia to the U.S. But I do recall the first verse of this ode to my puppy. Be prepared to be edified....
Duchess was a doggy good
Black and brown was she.
We roamed all over the neighborhood,
And oh, what fun had we!

  2. Duchess was the name of our dog, given her by the pound when she arrived as a few-week-old puppy. We renamed her, but I'll never forget the little "Duchess" tag on her cage door.
