Lambey by Elena Nazzaro


Its been a while since you noticed me
a year
or two
maybe three?

You jump
and work
and sleep
and run
but, I never join in on the fun

Your only friend
was what I used to be
Your favorite pal
that was me

What's happend now?
did you forget?
my snow white fur
is gray
and wet

I miss the way
we'd laugh
and play
I miss the day
we ran away

Just you and me
a trip
of some kind
But now there's no "you"
because I was left behind

    "I miss the way

    that line is sweet and honest, it makes this poem so meaningful. it makes me feel so sad, as a reader. and as a writer, im so proud of you. this poem is so powerful!

  2. I really like this poem. It makes me think of my little sister whose 3. Since she was 7 months old shes had this dog named myrtle. And they are inceprable. She refuses to go to sleep with out him and when she starts sceaming her head off, the only thing that can calm her is myrtle. But in a few years, myrlte is going to be forgotten. I know this isn't your stuffed animal, but after I read it, I thought it was. Good job.
