Notes About The Poem

Brought to you by the White Brothers

That dog was conspiring to keep us from rhyming. It did not succeed ;)

Black Dog - Collaboration With White Wolf

As I proceed to indite in reluctancy
A vortex in my mind opens up to me
With my imagination running wild
Is it no wonder I feel beguiled

     So much in there, oh what to choose
     I have my sanity to lose
     My feet in mud, my head held low
     No thought neatly in a row

So many thoughts to contemplate on
When one enters, a dozen are gone
My love is vast and covers many things
Remaining open for new ones it brings

     Give me one woman here to kiss:
     my agony would turn to bliss
     my cottonballs would turn to brain
     give me that sweet, bitter, pain

Moving the tide and changing the subject
and take a moment on my life to reflect
if at all it is possible for one to create
a contented mind before it’s too late

     A black dog joins me in the void
     that's me, I'm mightily annoyed
     give me a ladder to climb out
     I'll treat you to a stout!
