A Puppies Sense

Have you ever heard a puppy?
      It's yipping and yapping, whining for it's mother
Have you ever felt a puppy?
      Soft yet scratchy, radiating heat from the life bubbling inside
Have you ever smelled a puppy?
      Traces of dust and leaves, the scent of it's second mother
Have you ever tasted a puppy?
      Chewy and tangy, it has a bad after taste
Have you ever seen a puppy?
      It's rambunctious and hyper, a small form of the beautiful animal it will become

My Life as a...

It begins suspended high in the air
Then, swoosh, I drop down                              un
                                           down                  o     c
                                                    down and b         e
Now, I'm sandwiched between to hard, wood sticks
Next, I am gliding on a white, cold surface running
I hear a swish, swish and feel a jolt
I whiz through the air and fly into a soft netting
Once I touch the ground I hear a buzz
Then it's over, all too quickly
