Reading Festival: Ewen is inspired to write a dog poem

Ewen has been inspired to write a dog poem after reading books about a dog in the war. I really like the way the dog blends in with the snow.

 

Mist

 

My name is Mist the dog

eyes dark, like shadows

and fur white, like morning mist.

 

I blend in with snow

like abominable snowman

with my ‘always clean’ fur.

 

I am a dog

not only stunning on the outside

but stunning in the inside.
