The Smell of Pepper

Our local library had a poetry contest for the school-aged children. The contest was entitled A smell that brings back memories. Well Tater entered the contest. She entered in the Kindergarten grade because it was her first time writing poetry.
Well out of all of the entries she won first place for her division. In honor of her winning her division, she was asked to read her poem at a reception held at the library for all of the poetry winners. Her poem was called The Smell of Pepper. It was a poem of her remembering my service dog Tye. Below is her poem.

The smell of pepper

Blowing through the sky

Reminds me of the day

When I got Tye

Tye was my friend

Until the very end

I miss him being by my side

And I miss walking Tye.

Below are some pictures of her at the reception. 

Her poem won 1st place
