From a dog’s viewport, /
one dog to another,
summer is a rose.

“One tries”
One tries
One lies and one stands, /
cat in darkness, dog in light. /
Wonder and return.

“Fainting tree”
Fainting tree
Oh, those fainting Christmas trees.
They are a sight to see,
Can’t be left alone, can’t be.
You went to spread some cheer,
So let me be clear,
It wasn’t me here,
It was the cat.
Like the serpent in the tree,
She tempted me
And now you see
Where we’re at.
She challenged me,
Said I couldn’t be free,
That there would be
No Christmas present for me
Unless I ran around the tree
And that’s when it went ker-splat.
It fainted dead away.
I don’t know what to say.
It fainted that way.
The power cord’s now frayed.
Yes, it happened today.
I blame the cat.
Yes, sparks flew,
There was a spark or two,
Arcing a translucent blue,
Singed the cat through and through.
No, I don’t know where she’s at.
So, those fainting Christmas trees,
Looks like they just can’t be
Left unattended, you see.
I think we can right the tree,
Set it up to be
Fully faint free
With no cat calamity
Without the cat.

“Shadows”
Shadows
Sharp morning shadows /
cut across the waiting world, /
palimpsest the dog.

“Over”
Over
Languid dog reclines, /
drooping like an old flower /
over the bed’s edge.

“Dog gone it”
Dog gone it
My bills dog me /
Dollar signs dressed in due dates /
Nipping at my heart.

Photo finish Friday: “Guarding”
Guarding
The small dog stares /
through the balusters of the stairs, /
eyes guarding the night.

Still
The dog still wonders /
and, quietly, so do I. /
You are not alone.

Dog walk
A fall walk at dusk, /
tethered to the edge of light, /
two dogs and me.
