My name is Skylar Futch. I’m 17 years old and attend Seabreeze High School. I love drawing and writing, and pursue it even if I might not be the best at it. My dog is the most important thing in my life, no matter how much the tiny thing gets on my nerves sometimes. My favorite animals are lions, owls, and raccoons, for some reason. Growing up, my favorite cartoon was Scooby Doo because I loved the mysteries.
Children's Poem
Anubis, the Wild Dog
By: Skylar Futch
Anubis,
named after the jackal god,
for his big ears.
They're soft like rose petals,
and flop when he runs.
With a long body,
he doesn’t know what to do with it.
He sits with hind legs,
on their side.
He's tiny, yet quick,
and barks piercingly loud.
In cold winters,
he’ll bury his cold nose in my blankets.
He’s taught me,
what people mean when they say,
“Dogs are a man’s best friend,”
--or in my case, woman’s best friend.
