Ciao mystery poet, I just gave you your 4 th vote!
Reading your poem brought memories back ..
My cat Paco would always be waiting for my father's return .. we live in a small village and there is a narrow street going up that leads to our house.
Hidden , as soon as Paco heard my father's footsteps , he would �come forward and run towards him with his antenna ..oppos .. tail straight up ...
.. he would stop and roll over in front of his shoes , then get up and follow to our front gate by his side making purring sounds.
Pa was always tickled by this performance of love ..
Both have passed away now .. But if I close my eyes I can still see them .

This is excellent subject matter! They are just always happy to see us. I am between dogs now, but keep seeing signs from the Universe, like your poem, that it's time to get another one (was doing too much traveling with work) Thank you for writing something uplifting. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for your read and encouraging review. Get your new puppy as soon as you feel you have the time for him or her.

Very nicely done. The art was a nice touch, but totally unnecessary as your word picture is more than enough for the reader to get the point. Keep it up.

Very cute and darling picture. Those animals really know how to make your day, don't they? Always had an animal member to our family, but then went to cats. They can be loving also, they love sitting on chests and purring, also sleeping right next to your nose. Biggest asset is their litter box. :)

Hello :)
I really enjoyed your poem - it's so relatable. Happiness also greets me at the door too - great personification by the way! Perfect word count ;)
'waging' - should be wagging!
Good luck in the voting booth.
Best wishes, Debra :)
