Frankie

Frankie is a wonderful character I met at Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary a number of years ago, who inspired me to write some animal poems.

Frankie

Hi, I'm Frankie, I'm four years old

and I've been waiting for quite a time

my owners circumstances had changed

so I found myself here in my prime

It's hard to be the forgotten dog

when visitors stop to say hello

smile and wave, then pass on by 

to see the cuter ones before they go

I am a loving and gentle dog

who's up for attention and cuddles

can be a bit nervous at times

but loves walkies and splashing in puddles

I'm Frankie and I want to be your friend

 if you feel you can give me a home

then please come along to Holly Hedge

and reserve me, so I'll never be alone
