Hello everyone, I ran out of time to edit my older entry of this poem. (Had to edit because the lines did not appear as they did in the Reply box and they were bit messed up!)
Here my edited entry - (Final Submission). Please consider this entry for judging.
This is my General Poetry Entry for the Topic - A Warm Fuzzy Feeling
Title - A Warm Fuzzy Feeling
I was about to go to Bed,
With my tummy completely fed.
Out of the window I peered,
And saw the snow being cleared.
I also saw a dog sleeping on the cold lane,
And seeing it suffer was like a great bane.
Hardly did I recognize a puppy sleeping next to it,
And I wondered how the cold night could be borne by it...
The suffering of the dogs melted my heart,
And my mind reminded me of my secret 'art'.
All the light of my home were put out,
And I could not contain myself from sneaking out.
I slipped into my snow-filled backyard
And was away from the fence by a few yards.
I used all my might in jumping over it,
And I succeeded in doing it!
As I went closer to the dog,
I saw that it had slept on a bog.
As I drew near, the Image became clear -
The dog had a litter of four puppies!
All my thoughts of comforting the dogs started shattering,
But, If, I left the puppies there, they would start wailing.
Then out of nowhere, an idea struck my mind,
An idea which would make others describe me as 'very kind'.
I woke the dogs and guided them to my fence,
To a spot, next to which was parked a Benz.
I helped the mother dog above the fence, followed by her wards.
And lo! All the dogs were in my snow-filled backyard.
In the backyard, I found a quiet place below a stack of logs
I decided that it would be the housing place of the silent dogs.
I guided them to go under the logs and found the place to be free of bugs!
I sneaked into my room again and emerged with my cozy bed-sheet .
The eyes of the dogs were filled with gratitude,
Enough to soften any person's attitude.
For the night, I knew that the dogs would lie dormant.
But, in the morning, I would have to explain everything to my parent.
The fuzzy dogs could not explain their 'warm feeling', physically or verbally,
Which left me a set of mixed feelings, totally!
I left the dogs to their sleep and went back to bed,
Recollecting the taste of the Dessert that I had been fed.
Now, back at the bed I was,
I realized that I had given away my bed-sheet,
Without which I would be at a loss.
And this, gave me a chance to be the Boss!
I went near the wardrobe, thinking of everything that I had to explain,
I swiftly opened it, and took out my brother's new bed-sheet, hoping he would not complain...
There were small synthetic fibres emerging from all over it
And that was the only reason that made me to hate it.
I had no option but sleep under it, certain that it would be uncomfortable.
But, it gave me some warmth. The thought that I had helped the dogs made me happy.
I then remembered the inexpressible happiness which I had seen in the dogs' eyes,
And that, gave me a good feeling - A Warm Fuzzy Feeling!

P.S. - This is a poem, written based on a real life incidence!
All references to the 'dog' in the poem, refers to the Female(Mother) Dog. I did not want to write what a female dog is actually called.
There is also a reference to the word 'rug' in the poem. In my country, it is informally used to describe a piece of warm(mostly woollen) cloth used to sleep under.
Also, one may wonder that in the poem, the dogs are said to be silent when woken. This 'part' was written as what happened in the actual incident. (Maybe, the coldness made them to be silent)
If possible, I would like people giving their reviews on the poem(In my profile, maybe) so that I can know where to improvise, in the poems which I will write in the Future!
[i]If anyone wants to know what I was thinking or referring to in any of the lines, you can surely Quote the line and ask me. I surely will explain what I actually mean by that line and Message I want to convey, if any. [i]
{I have added two words 'which', 'and' and 'that', in lines 3, 4 and 4 respectively. I did it because the earlier lines did not seem Grammatically Correct.}
