A Bichon Frise Poet Hugs His Book of Verse Among the Pink Clouds
A snowy Bichon Frise sits among painted clouds and rose-colored drapery, a pink cap with a golden feather sitting on his fluffy head. His coat is pink silk stitched in gold, the lace at the wrists falls over his white paws, and a tiny book rests in his arms. His eyes are dark and round, and his black button nose stands out like a punctuation mark on a very soft page.
Bichon Frises are small, cheerful dogs with curly white coats and playful, affectionate personalities. They usually enjoy company and are known for bursts of silly energy. That fluffy coat needs regular brushing and professional grooming every several weeks to prevent mats. Daily walks and play keep a Bichon happy, and because they tend to dislike being left alone for long, a steady routine and plenty of attention suit them well.
A poet's portrait often includes a book and a dreamy expression, and this one has both. The Bichon's white fur is a gift to a painter working in pastel colors, because it blends beautifully into the clouds and the pink silk. He looks like he is composing a verse about the sunshine, a nice treat and maybe the lovely feeling of a warm lap.
Poetry may be the language of the heart, and this little poet has plenty of heart to share.
