Prompt: An Animal Poem
Poetic Form: Haiku Sonnet
Paws
I sometimes wish that I
Had four paws instead of feet
To move through the world.
I have found that I
Love creatures with four paws more
Than ones with two legs.
Their quiet nature
And their infinite patience
Soothes my weary soul.
And I think that I
Could be a better person
If I were like them.
But maybe that’s their purpose.
Inspiring from a distance.
