FASCINATION

She fascinates me, challenges me

Every time I see her, or think of her

I’m fascinated

She only has to look at me or make a sound

and I’m dumbstruck, mumble a few futile words,

and make my excuses

What I know about her is very little,

but fascinating all the same

Her look, tone of voice, elegant demeanour

Who wouldn’t be fascinated?

I don’t think she even realises that she has

Siren like qualities that draw you in, compel

you to observe, talk to, and talk about her

I know this all may seem odd but…

I do love my dog, she’s fascinating!

Thank you for your kind comments. I would love a dog but not allowed pets where I live😒

This happily coincides with a YouTube video I sent my dog-owning niece about how our canine friends show their love
for us.. Neat ending too!

Love it! What would we do without our four-legged friends?
