BONDING GAZE
15 January 2011

It was the way he lifted his head . . .
tilting it to one side,
and looking at me
almost quizzically . . .
our eyes locking
for a moment and a day,
in a tentative bond,
before he scuttled away
along the top
of the concrete fence
his magnificent blue head
bright in the noonday sun.

This is very beautifully written. I can tell you are an animal person by your poems. I so loved the imagery!!!

Thank you, Julie. Yes, I am – not so much of a people person though, except for the ones I really like. I can tell you are also “animally” – I met LeeLee and Kaylee in your photos and poems and heard of Sammy in one of your poems and Molly in one of your responses.

Thank you, Faith, for your kind words.

Thank you, Spiros. Glad you liked it.
