Cape Mendocino

Cape Mendocino	

The westernmost tip of California
hard to reach
except by Google earth
the usual method of exploration
these days.

The Point Arena Library
where I hung my words upon
the Poet Tree
growing in the entrance
hardly noticed.

A fellow
down on his luck
the beloved companion
of a wire haired dog
with bad breath 
and crooked teeth

Both sitting beneath a leaf
of William Carlos Williams.
So much depends upon
this little dog
for the man
glazed with rain.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
