I wrote my poem Gloves! A Corgi’s Tale for Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #255. The challenge is to write something inspired by the photograph below.
I am a little corgi dog,
And I love to play with gloves,
I don’t know why I love them so,
I haven’t got a clue.
All I know is when I find a glove,
I want to chew and chew.
Any make or kind I love,
Any style will do;
Leather gauntlet ones,
Or knitted ones in wool,
Silken gloves are the best,
Cotton gloves are cool.
Whenever I possess a tasty glove,
I will leap and bound with joy,
It is a prize sent from high above.
And I will bark, Oh boy, oh boy!
I’m such a happy hound,
To play with such a toy.
