the dog outrides the flock,
warning away the terrors of night.
He sees
the cheery glow of the shepherds’ fire,
murmured talk and quiet laughter
float past him softly
on the chill autumn...

Rum n Raisin 18 - One Rainy Day

...“I’m so very bored,” Raisin said with a frown
“Me too,” said Rum, “but with rain pouring down,

Carrying a bagful to fix something

Miss Wobble Paws

...She used to be fast
and bouncy,
but after two strokes
her head began to tilt
over her rolling neck
and podgy body.

Yet, through bleary eyes,
she saw off
starlings and cats,
toppling into t...

Questions

Corn Dogs and Ice Cream Cones a song

...It's rare that most would call me a hot head
I am usually the coolest cucumber instead
I have no tells, so their heads don't swell
and I don't get entangled to soon

But there is this tall lanky...

Bookends

They stop you falling
Or lolling too far over

Coffee Tea and Me

...Awakening - not my forte per se, 
With a new dawn perspective rather grey, 
Lolling in bed I stretch and yawn until 
Coffee aroma nibbles my nostril. 

The mere thought of it stirs my core to ri...

The Shoes

on leather uppers.

I don’t know if the cops will come.
A local cat has sniffed each worn and open throat,
it seems to prefer the left.
