UP out of the slime of human existence
I live like a DOG without resistance
I see, hear, smell and sense what is NOW
Much more than the frog, Man or cow
I live like a dog, right here and now
Some might say my talk is Bow-Wow
I don't study the Moon, Sun nor tomorrow
No Time, always timeless
no time for yesterday's pain, sorrow
Now I'm aware of all that IS
I'm changing my name, more fitting it is
Ruffus Barklay Wagner or Rex for short
I'm here for the petting, the food and sport
That is all
out of doors
no walls
not even
cat calls
Ruff is my life
Waggin' my game
Rex is my name
BOW-
W0W
insane?

(cont.) (cont.) p.s. you state that you have senses greater than some of those of frog (my ma was a frog) , a Man (my pa was a man) , or a cow (my first wife was a cow (she may still be; i DO miss the fresh milk!) , BUT.. you seem to portray yourself as a human. are you a Woman? ?
(cont.) i guess Poem by is 'doing' a 'play on words' **, or is it a pun? ** a humorous use of a word with more than one meaning or that sounds like another word poem's topic is love. i wonder if it is love, like many of Is It Poetry's topics is green i.e. some word to satisfy PH's requirement for a topic. hmm? bri ;) (cont.)
(cont.) ....Ruff is my life, but ruff has several meaings/uses other than: look here: Woof is the most common representation in the English language for this sound, especially for large dogs. Other transliterations include the onomatopoeic wuff, ruff, arf, au au, borf, bork, bow-wow, and, for small dogs, yip. (cont.)
