Student Poetry Competition 2026 Finalist: “Loyalty “is like a furry friend

“Loyalty “is like a furry friend

by Amaya Gudivada, Methodist Ladies’ College (MLC)
Years 5 – 6 Written Poetry Finalist

Slobber rolls down your cheek, as the ball of fluff lies in your lap, relief floods as you know your furry friend will…

stay with you-

Love you no matter what-

Even through your darkest days-

It’s the ever-glowing light-

Guiding you to happiness-

Even through your darkest nights-

even when you can’t see, it will guide you to safety –

The dog’s furry coat brushes your arm as it wags its tail-

Always there for you

Always wagging-

Even when it’s gone.

My dog, my ever-glowing angel.
