April's Fool - NaPoWriMo #1


I'm fool

for the rain

for grey, cloudy skies

and wind blowing

 

Give me a book and a chair

and a cup of something warm

a cat or a dog to sit with me

and I can’t think of a more pleasant way

to spend an afternoon.

 

Give me a rainy day.

give me a storm.

give me a book.

That’s all I ask.

Friday 55 - Otis


My blind dog whines
because he wants me to play tug.

with doggy exuberance
and more love than I deserve.

This is for the Friday 55 at Verse Escape.

On reading "The Diary of Anne Frank"

  I am reminded of the many things I take for granted. I have soap and water, as much as I like, I have books and outside sour...
