Poetry: Phoebe

A0D6EB9C-D67B-481B-B9F9-477C6FEF4311

Phoebe by Yuxin Qian (Jenny)

Her tiny body jumping off the floor,

Dancing in circles round and round.

Rolling over to tummy rub implore,

Such happiness and energy abound.

 

Giving out hundreds of wet kisses,

As if one thousand years has passed.

Expressing how much she misses,

All those part of the household cast.

 

Enthusiastically bringing a toy,

Yet oddly unwilling to share.

Her own hide and seek as ploy,

While shadowing us everywhere.

 

Forever seeking to be more close,

Eyes wide and brightly shining.

Nearly embedded into legs of host,

Extra appeal of sweet whining.

 

So aware of presence and mood,

Bringing simplicity and harmony.

Such great joy and comfort exude,

From this little one we call Phoebe.

 


 

 

 

 

Yuxin Qian (Jenny) wishes to have more readers

find happiness and warmness through everyday living

from the things that are meaningful to them.
