Brian Sambourne Poet Free verse

Hot Blooded

Smack down heat gives pavement a warm buzz of groggy
For a puppy who joyfully licks a lemon popsicle
       held like a wand
By a caring boy with a warm buzz of rebel.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart July 30, 2020 at 4:32 AM I love the image this conjures, a warm buzz indeed. Reminding me delightfully of my own rebel nights, returning home from the bar sharing a poutine with my canine companion ;), xomo Brian Sambourne August 6, 2020 at 1:26 PM Thanks very much. Street scenes are often a source of inspiration. Love your short sharp pieces enormously. Best wishes Brian

Andrea Dietrich July 29, 2020 at 1:46 PM how cute this is!! Brian Sambourne July 29, 2020 at 3:04 PM Thank you Andrea. The little boy knows the pup shouldn't have sugar, but on a hot day the rebel wins. As does the puppy. Best wishes Brian

Line Gauthier July 28, 2020 at 6:15 PM Lovely imagery, Brian. Brian Sambourne July 29, 2020 at 3:06 PM Hello Line Yes the scene was an actual sidewalk bit of charity (I viewed) to an overheated pup. I had to write a small tribute to boy and dog. Thank you for your comment. Brian
