A pet no one would ever trade
Such loyalty of the lasting,loving kind
Her memory now in cross-stitch made
No replacement,were we to ever find
Still,now in our memory-bank entwined....

Interior Landscapes: The Border Collie

It is the country of fallow fields in
my dream, our car pulls off the road 
beside a fenced in area...

The grass is tall and merciful there.

In this field, a border collie runs at top
speed back and forth.

My soul knows the dog...

I rode a longhorn steer clear across Texas
this summer and no one noticed until
I rode into New Mexico."That is strange, senor"
A vaquero said standing beside the road.
"Don't people here ride cows?" I asked 
innocently but amused. "Oh, yes, we ride
cows, but not on Sunday, senor."Taken...

I would like to thank you for your visit.
I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past,  and imagination.
We just...

I had a Merle collie, Cindy was her name;
She was sleek and beautiful, football was her game.
She'd play with a ball for hours, her skills were quite refined,
She would even head it to me if she felt so inclined.

We climbed a mountain range, one cold...

Truly loved him ever since he was young
That brown Collie is my sweet pet of mine
Lovely to look at when he shows his tongue
Don’t let him mad if he shows his rare fang.
Running nowhere in an old street line
He is there during my difficult times.
Doesn't...

A loyal collie on Chesapeake Bay
worked for his keep—if he wanted to stay
But when told: Hurry, you slob!
he laid down on the job
dreaming of running through meadows all day

A CHANGE OF FIND
change
Alteration
Subjugation
Observation 
A constant conflagration
Yet change be triumphant over stagnant stems and stalks of winter wheat made rancid
The sacrifice of death is but a fire fueled nightmare hurling spittle at it’s spite
A man such as me who owns no hearth within a home...

Thoughts of a Border Collie While
Pondering a Bone

Mine, mine, mine, I think
as I drip drool on the floor.
Bloody meat clings
tenaciously to the hard bone.
White fat, like veins of gold,
marbles the red treat.
My owner is thawing this delicious
delicacy on the counter.
I watch and wait with longing
as...

There is an acting coach in Battle Creek
Who taught his theatrical collie to speak
Now portraying King Lear
He’s Time’s Dog Of The Year
And stars in Lassie Call Home in a week

My Tasha Girl happens to be
a mix of both Chow and Collie
and I suppose it's largely due because I'm the guardian of she
that I don't see Tasha Girl as a mutt or other cross breed.
In my eyes she's so beautiful and a breed all her...

Red

It was a cool, Spring night.
We lit the fireplace, a cozy sight.
Red, my collie, a double for Lassie,
Nuzzled up for a treat, his saucer
shaped eyes, ah!
So very warm and so classy.

I went to the kitchen, glowing
amber from the flames,
Here came Red, his treat to claim.
Ah~...

Alone in the forest
    at the mercy of sound
  no lean-to for shelter, nor
    bed of leaves on the ground

  wind cracks through the brambles
    rain’s icy fingers reach in
  to magnify doubts...

Border collies
highly intelligent-sometimes
two edged sword...
