James Foulk Poet Free verse

Spending Time

Spending time with a

friend is something we all should do

more of.



So on this radiant

afternoon I'm spending

time with a friend.



As I enjoy these breezes

blowing my way, sitting

on the patio with my



best friend and companion

looking down at her

sitting as close as one

could get to me,


just now she looked

up at me, with those

beautiful brown eyes of hers,


knowing some day

won't have this time

to spend with my dear friend,


or to get her wet kisses

or that wagging tail,

from my dog Brandy,


so will enjoy this

magic moment, store it in

my memory and loving each

moment.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart June 6, 2011 at 8:42 PM wow James u created intrigue and suspense with romance in the mix.. nothing like relationship between a man and his best friend.. Brandy in this case.. a sweet tribute to a loving pet ..my friend..

Caroline Cécile Delacroix June 6, 2011 at 5:01 PM A dog is man's best friend, they say. Beautiful write conveying well your bond with you best friend. Hope you also have human friends to talk to. :) Thanks for sharing and thank you for your kind comments on my latest. Best wishes, Caroline.

Jack Horne June 6, 2011 at 11:51 AM A lovely touching write on Brandy, James. As you say, we should treasure every moment - I have beautiful memories of our boys, Paddy and Nero

Carolyn Devonshire June 6, 2011 at 10:34 AM Ah, James, you had me fooled. Thought you were with a lady friend. Pets make great companions even though our time with them is limited by their short life spans. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn James Foulk June 7, 2011 at 7:12 PM thank you for reading this and for commenting on it. if i was with a lady friend my wife would kill me.
