Dog Star
His owner tripped.
His owner fell.
He plunged down
in a deep, dark well.
But he left alone
his faithful hound,
who looked as he may
but he can't be found.
He travelled near.
He travelled far.
He shines from the sky
as the dog star.

Oh Doggie Boy
Frankie’s face so cute, sweet and appealing
Lifts one’s heart to fly up to the ceiling
The moment we met I was mesmerised
No one could resist those sparkling brown eyes.
Frankie’s adored by all residents here
His presence livens up the atmosphere
Love the way Frankie greets us all with joy
He is such a warm hearted doggie boy.
Never

Ancient Shapeshifter Conspiracies
Ancient Conspiracies
Thousands of years ago
They came to earth
Alien shapeshifting reptilian creatures
From Sirius the dog star
They founded Atlantis
Enslaved humanity
They destroyed Atlantis
In a nuclear war
The descendants walk among us
To this day
Forming an ancient conspiracy
The shapeshifters are everywhere
Could be any one
They are the secret power
Behind everything
Their name is legend
Satan
Lucifer
Illuminati
Free masons
Knight templar
The trilateral commission
The committee that

So I May Dream
Let us curry favor in dog star's
splendid laughing light
bring the crash of passion's waves
through two arms held tight.
I carry your wishes in love's
knapsack, strapped close
in tomorrow's hope
fashioned in new dawn's
golden charms.
Bring empathy in touch
understanding where
once was none, gone
in sorrow's parting.
Grant me true sight
unbridled, like a child's
reaching

Asteroid Gravity Graced
Asteroid
You were out of this world
named for the Perseids
the meteor
that exploded in two striking the blue
between the sun and the moon
the massive spark an exclamation mark
that punctuated perfectly my
“hey we’re going to see some awesome...”
fireworks tonight and
a week later
Gravity
led me to you
all arctic and wolfy
all wild

To Lady and the Dog Star
They said a funny Latin word,
they said that you were dead,
yet merrily you wagged your tail
when I took you to the vet.
You were not kind to chickens,
as well the neighbors know,
or come to that, to ducks and geese,
and yet I loved you so.
Oh, to recall the bygone days
we roamed and roved together,
sometimes when

Dazzling
Dog-star called Sirius
Daunting in the night sky,
Dreams are wished upon you.
Diamond glimmering star
Dazzle and beguile us,
Drape your shining rays on
Delighted stargazers.

Dog Star
Dog Star
The clarity with which youthful vision perceives the world
Is increasingly fogged by the successive days of life.
Simple magnanimity is replaced by complex reservation.
Knowledge is replaced by uncertainty.
Hope is replaced by the leaden awareness of the cold laws of chance, and of time’s passage,
By the degeneration of familiar forms,
By the merciless reaping of the best

The Copper House
Still, on a bench, watching eyes inquired
To the heights of Brakeman’s Hill
That on its rounded peak
Poised a bright copper house
And held the company
Of a strong oak tree
It bore a twisted truck
And roots of valiant display
The fallen leaves made swollen stumps
As squirrels used them to play
An old man of grey
And a
