Gray Squirrel Poet Free verse

Needy Dog

I Think That Dog
Is Too Noisy...

Then Then.
But It Sounded
Soulful, Needy Dog...

Like A Timpani
Featured In The
Dog Star By Holst.

And That River
Of Freeway Running
Through It's Ears...

We Are THREATENING!
IT'S TIME TO REACT!
Trauma Needy...

We Need To
Behave!
Or React Otherwise...

By Choice.
