Pure Joy

As I rap on the door

I hear a scampering swoosh

as the knob turns

the door creaks open

Yoshi’s velvety fur tossles

as he scurries

like a thunderbolt

and wallops

a delighted bark!

He enthusiastically

scampers

as his paws madly

pitter patter

across the tile.

He leaps up

howling in pure joy

his gleeful tail

pounding the ground

His eyes and mouth

grin together widely

and reveal his

pure reverie.

As I pull him close

I hear his heart

thud against mine.

As he plunks

a sloppy kiss on my cheek

I relish this

furry hug with the

sweetest pup around!
