Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

My Rory and Me With Our Thoughts

Here am I sitting on the grassy hilltop
with Rory always my buddy at my side
enjoy my packed sandwich cheese and ham
Rory's hoping for a bite so likes to confide

Your dog can read your line of thought
Rory even knows the moving of my lips
there's a telepathy between the two of us
especially when he's thirsty for water he sips

Looking away above the clouds
following the line of my kite
thinking what if that was me up there
except when it was dark at night

To be in the clouds looking down
seeing all the beauty all around
travelling east and west forever in flight
listening to the birds chirping sweet sounds

But eventually we'd have to come down
the body needs food especially my buddy
so better to enjoy it up here when we can
airs so fresh leaves skin somewhat ruddy!

(This is taken from a picture, a fictional story of me and my dog Rory sitting on a hilltop thinking our thoughts.)

(although I quite like many other forms also) But to be alone with your best mate contemplating makes a lovely scene - thanks Gordon - Lindsay Gordon Mcconnell August 11, 2020 at 12:32 AM G'day Lindsay, Glad you liked this one and trust you are well.Have a blessed day, Gordon

John Watt August 9, 2020 at 2:06 PM Rory sounds like a splendid friend, especially on those outdoor outings, and I love his name. What breed is he, and how long have you had him? Great creative write my friend, enjoyed very much. Have a great week! Gordon Mcconnell August 9, 2020 at 2:12 PM Thanks John, first of all Rory is a fictional dog too taken from the picture but he looks like a collie type dog. Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have a great week too, I've been hearing such bad reports of the pandemic from your side of U.S. Take care, Blessings always,Gordon
