Tara died when I was five

I didn’t understand then

But she made me happy

She was a lovely little dog

I told her my biggest secrets

But what made me angry:

She ate my chocolate egg!

Tara meant a lot to me

Dexter 10

My Sammy, she’s goofy,

sometimes she does zoomies

up, down, all around.

Sometimes she’s greedy

she really is crazo like a potato:

small but mighty, 

but never fighty,

She’s just right

Ruby (10) 

My dog is fluffy –

That’s sometimes bad: 

I can’t do my homework

She is so fluffy and squishy I get distracted.

But it’s not always that,

When I’m sleepy, she’s so squishy

she’s better than my teddy

I love my doggy

Arthur (10)

My dog Jess is a large Lab

she is as black as night

and as silky as can be

she speeds across the living room

she runs to the kitchen

when we’re eating Sunday roast

she jumps onto my lap to snuggle me

with her long tongue licking my face

from left to right

Wren 10

My dog is as small as a basketball

and as loving and fluffy as can be

wagging his wonderful tail

fast and blond and snuggling

in between my arms hoping for food

and wanting attention

and licking me to death

his name is Teddy and he is crazy

Zoe 10

My Albert fills my heart with love and pride

to have him as I walk beside

soft, silky and smooth as he is

sprints across to me as a whizz

I love him

even if the world goes dim

Alicia 10

My dog jumped on the sofa 

with his short legs, tail wagging,

snuggling between my arms, 

his slimy tongue licking my face

Ella 10

My dog is Chester

when I call his name

he tilts his furry head

and turns like smoke in the wind

Heath 9

My cat wears a hat that says

“I sit on my scratch mat!”

She hisses and has mittens

on her cute toe beans.

She is black and white,

her name is Cruella!

My cat mews for milk and food

she is a fatty, fatty bum bum!

Isla 9

I once met a small black cat

He wasn’t any old cat

No, it wasn’t just that – 

He loved near an ice cream shop

I would hug him till he would pop.

But one day he wasn’t there,

How on earth was this fair?

Before, we would never part, 

but now he only lives in my heart

Misha 10

My cat of whom I love,

Furry, fluffy and felt-like,

Runs like the wind, 

Purrs so relaxing,

Micah 10

There’s my cat in the lounge

Zooming around

There’s my cat on the ground

Cuddling while purring with lots of sound

Finn 10

My guinea pig is a small smooth jumping jet

Freya 9

My bunny hops around

hoping for a carrot

her fur is as soft as silk

as her soft ears run against my leg

her paws pad on my lap

as she rummages for attention

Eden 9

My fish swishes around the water

my fish goes swish swash

he’s pretty old but he is terrific and cool to watch

as he swims through his tunnel all the time

James 10

Clover the cow sat at the barn

chomping a hoard of hay

I stroked her soft head as she went “Moo!”

I laughed, smiling

Natalia 9

Black, white and yellow

swiftly gliding through the water

funny, energetic and small

swallowing fish in their beaks

as their spiky toes trail to the shore

Sophie 10
