Grey.
Run your hands through my fur,
and wonder at the softness there;
That is how the air parts for me
and caresses my sleek flank.
Touch these franked ears,
feel the raised ellipses of ink;
I hear only the fast tattoo
of my accelerating paws.
The taste of the air intoxicates,
I fill my lungs and am spurred on.
Look to find my quarry
with your weak eyes;
You cannot see as far as me
and I am chasing freedom.

Beautiful poem. My kids are wondering when I am going to write one for them.
I love this! Perfect for a greyhound.
Beautiful poetry! Your mom has great imagery!

This is soooo beautiful. It perfectly describes the noble Greyhound.
Blimey mate; that's a bit good innit?! Tell Mummie to write a song for Ambam next! Deccy x
Wow, your Mum is so talented. I wish I could paint my kids and write poems for them. They're probably not concerned that I can't though, as long as I take them for a walk, which is where we're going now. Seeya:)
