Dogfight Everything's quiet Like the calm before storm, You're lulled into a smugness, Just when something seems wrong- Could have sworn that I locked it, Where's that latch on the gate? That means that there's someone That should be here but ain't! And then... The both see me, Eyes lock, But not mine- My heart pounds, Oh those sounds, Fur flies, Teeth grind, Bodies crash, I dash, Get the Hose, Get the shovel, Get the... Heck out of the way! Oh, I hate this, can't they stop, Screaming at them, as they both flop! I'll be the neighbors, Have called 911, Sure a Murder Has been done! Grab a collar, Pull HARD- Risking injury Is you reward! Blood is flowing- But it's all mine, The dogs are scarred, But just fine. And me? My nerves are shattered, And I'm a Bloody Mess! My heart still pounding For fear the dogs were Near Death! Now I can worry, and I can wait, keep them separate, Lock those gates. Always waiting, For just one chance Growling, Low, Threatening glance, No more my pets, Will play together, Enemy Mine- Jealous Forever! By Lynn P.
