Poems

get you a friend

24OCT25

that wags its tail

feel like a frog
become a prince
put you a dog
inside of your fence

feel like a hag
become real sweet
get you a bag
of dog treats

put the wind
in your sails
get you a friend
that wags its tail

as you unleash
your best moves
know at least
that bigfoot approves

the leash pulled tight
along you'll roll
with a big light
in your soul

as you bask
& go strolling thru
just don't ask
who's controlling who

I go for several walks almost every day. I often think that walking is more my natural state of being than anything else. It is good exercise. But it is even better to be out under the sky and the trees. (Did I just hear a loud “AMEN” from out in the trees? : )). I think that it is really good for your mood and your VIBE.

During these walks I am always running into pretty much the same people out walking their dogs. We usually greet each other and sometimes stop and chat for a while. And those are usually the best conversations. I am not sure that anything much is getting said. But they are just fun. And I am pretty sure that those people and the relationships that they have with their dogs and their daily rituals that they are enjoying have a big part in that.

So if you have a dog pet it. And if you don’t greet or pet someone else’s today. (You may want to ask for permission.) And the smiles will probably take care of themselves.

Poems

the love of a dog

07OCT25

a pot of gold

magic is free
always been that way
are able to see
every single day

kiss the frog
to not get old
the love of a dog
a pot of gold

the angel sings
and plays the harp
to remember your wings
& keep your mood sharp

the big & blurry
make the rounds
all is merry
on your go round

make no fuss
say something funny
eat the locust
and the wild honey

Those of you who are familiar with scripture will recognize the reference in the last 2 lines. This blog flies a goofy flag. And we try to move forward behind it. I am not sure the world of goofy is into an orderly march. But hopefully the spirit of “THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS” walks along with us on our best days. I would think that most wanna be poets would want that. That is that their ramblings somehow reveal truth.

Enjoy your Tuesday!
