A pet is an animal
That you can hug,
Love and adore,
Even a bug!
Some are too big,
To snuggle and hold,
Others, like pigs,
Will sometimes be sold.
Cats are the best,
To sleep with and cuddle,
Cats like to rest,
And then they will snuggle!
Beware! Because under those paws,
Are hidden sharp claws!
Those cute little kittens,
Who’d think to guess?
There are some pets
That don’t like to snuggle,
A snake and goose,
A snail and moose.
These aren’t the only things
Pets are good for;
Riding and romping and,
Playing and more.
Whether your pet is a
Cat or a mouse,
Bird in its house,
Everyone needs a pet.
About the Author
Angel C. enjoys playing violin, crocheting stuffed animals, and reading. She wants to be a vet when she grows up. This is one of her first poems, but she is excited to learn more about how to write a great poem. Her cat, Mellie, inspired this piece. Mellie is a Siamese cat, who was born blind. She loves crackly things like tissue paper and cardboard bags, and also loves classical music.
Love it, Angel! I really love the story-like feel of the poem and how your love for animals comes across. Great work and welcome to Radiate! 🙂
