Bella’s Battle Cry

Quadrille at dVerse Poets Pub today where Lisa is our hostess.

Q 249 Toot Toot!

Bella’s Battle Cry

No royal trumpet,
just Bella—our tiny chaos—announcing herself like a one-dog parade.

A stolen shoe,
a guilty face,
the invisible horn of trouble sounding through the house,
while we pretend discipline still exists here—

between missing slippers and shredded dignity.

    Maggie, resisting Bella’s charms is a lost cause, I fear. How adorable she is! She reminds me of my dog, Chauncey. I know he’s playing in heaven right now, waiting for us.

    I love the dVerse banner you created! Do you mind if I use it on my dVerse posts?

      Lisa of course you can use the banner .

      Yes, a lost cause resisting that face 🤭.

      They leave big 🐾 prints in our hearts.

        Awesome, thank you. Is it ok if I add your info at the bottom of it (or will you, so people know who made it?)

        Yes, they do, Maggie. I lost my Chaun 10 years ago and he is still alive in my mind.

    What a delightful poem, Maggie, and an adorable dog. Our Jasper, who is no longer with us, was a bit of a one-dog parade too, but he didn’t steal shoes, he guarded them!

    I never had a dog, but when you love them those slippers is a price you can pay
