Best Leash Poems

I left your side not long ago,
To run on Heaven‘s fields.
I know you’ll miss me daily,
While writing poems on the hills.

With no farewells exchanged,
And no time to say goodbye.
I was gone before you knew it,
And only God knows why.

Though we parted company,
I’ll check in from...

Down through the thicket,
Over and across the forest bend,
A tail sways, as the wind lifts leaves
of red and yellow.

Aside a pond kissed with moss,
we take a long walk on a clear day,
crawdads and minnows astir.

With hind quarters stiffly creaking forward,
he pants and sniffs at vibrant...

Something is happening there now
I know it, I can hear the lane full
Of children's voices, the lowing cow
Tramples on the peanut hull,

But not that, not that common routine
And not the buckets sitting still
On the kottas, nor Lawford in the ravine
And his cart rumbling up the...

The world seems to be quiet and out of its mind
Not to mention the words that aren’t kind
Messages that won’t complete the good thought
Bringing cold air and the barren nature she sought
Being of the kindness of men’s being
Not often lord’s hope comes and bring
Kings trade...

With a wag of tail and tongue bedraggled
dogs drag their owners to frolic off-leash
in parks devoted to dog meets dog dalliance and play.

Despite their authority, the owners know each
not by the owner’s names, but by the names of the dogs.
“Where’s George today, and Horris the...

Fear leashes unforeseen harpoons
     when faith flees to the hold.
     Wind gauges possible typhoons,
     purser murmurs threefold...

Without a leash

Walking alone
in the heart of the city
Feeling the strain
as the skyscrapers wail
Wondering lost
like a dog with no owner
Broken apart
but still wagging my tail
Begging for scraps
in the alleys of sorrow
Chasing a cat
up a fictitious tree
Crossing the street
against oncoming traffic
Nothing to scratch
no not even a...

The dogs resist, the owners tug;
The passersby who see that shrug
For humans have the upper hand,
Their pets attuned to their command.

I often wonder what they’d choose
To do instead, when they refuse – 
Remain in place to sniff a scent
Or run to where the squirrel went.

Perhaps...

A few days ago,
I had you in my arms
We were in your Honda car...
We didn't go too far...too far...

We used to make each other laugh 
Until one of us falls down and coughs
I'm afraid I lost you long ago...
Losing touch of you reduces me to...

No more babies to make.
We're all done my wife says.
Get the scissors.
We have 3 of our own
All under 5,
4 total.
Why look so nostalgic towards babies 
Tinier than my 11 month old?
The kid's truck-sized,
Like wielding slabs of marble about.
We're done,
He's heavy,
We're out.

It's just so terminating.
The era...

Broken, abused.
Yet craving the pain.
Afraid to leave
I'm on a chain.

So shattered and ripped
in my heart.
Numbing pain 
I can't depart.

Craving disaster
I cannot dwell.
Wanting blood 
To drip a trail

Craving to see
Crimson red.
Amid reality
That i dread.

People may think
That I'm a freak.
But the truth:
I'm a freak on a leash.

I...

It was a perfect day, a sunny golden day.
I felt the gentle sweep of easy breezes,
the music of the wind.
It was my daily stroll around the neighborhood,
my daily clarity.

It was there, and then I beheld the cat,
the leashed Siamese cat, prowling and smelling.
A man clutched...

When you find yourself floating  
Through the sky, without a leash  

With the wind, you’re going  
Over mountains, trees, and seas  

People will point at you: ‘look at her go,’ they’ll say  

But when you’re out of sight  
It’s...

On a bright broad beach near Barcelona
Where I was feeling so all alone-a
A glorious vision strode into view.
Like Rubirosa, I knew what to do.

I charmed this woman from Segovia,
A fair descendant of the great El Cid.
Her radiant eyes and shimmering hair
Caused many a wag to...
