My dog
Barks incessantly
Through the night
At ghouls and ghost
Only a dog's eye can sight
For I swear when I look
There's nothing to be seen
He barks at the wind
The trees and
All in between
He barks at me
When I come to see
What has him acting
So strangely
He barks at shadows
Cast by the moon
A shadow of his tail
Has him all swooned
He barks at cars
Noise and
Strangers in the night
He barks at every little thing
That cause him fright
He barks at the neighbor's cat
At the neighbor's fence
He sits and dispenses
Of barking until spent
Breaths
Lap water then
Barks again
He barks a melody
That's well-received it seems
For out of the night
The howling begins
Dogs and cats alike
They howl at the moon
They howl at each other
They howl at whatever
Gives them pleasure
