Biggles in Stoke Park - February 2011

wide green spaces suit
a brown and white spaniel on
a grey winter's day

Dog

Expert at lounging, barking,
And getting under my feet.
Liberal with licks and dog hairs,
But jealously guarding snacks.
Panics when family members leave,
Goes frantic when foxes prowl.
A tailful of wags when tickled,
And soppy dark eyes full of love.
