Hour Eleven

Write a poem about dogs. However you cannot use any of the followings words in the poem: dog, canine, bark, growl, and puppy. You also can’t use the names of any dog breeds. So, it should be a bit of a challenge.
——————————————————————————————————————-

A grim lurks in the dark corners,
snarling and baring its teeth, waiting
for the chance to strike. Summoning
six headed beasts from Hell takes some
blood runes, Enochian magick, and more
Will than most can muster in a lifetime.
I’ll keep my Cerberus close to my heart—
she’ll defend me when the time is right
But we’ve been bonded since youth, and
no foul creature can come between me
and my spirit animal. Not even a Grim.
