 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Lori's poem "Inhale Me" started me thinking. This is the result. watching my little mutt, Zoe eating breakfast with me I give her three different kinds of snacks she likes still, her delight is waiting for me to finish my oatmeal always save her a little her dessert is how I like to think of it she waits patiently I try to hurry my part up soon I sit the bowl on the floor she cleans it I feel good she feels good we have shared something meaningful humans could be a little more sharing don't'ja think? we go along in mindless ruts n'er thinking our significant other might need a little lagniappe like Zoe and her oatmeal humans, too, sometimes need extra consideration respect and lots and lots of love we tend to ignore that want even for those we profess undying love to this heartless phenomena commonly known as routine when just a pat on the back or bending down to kiss the nape of her neck bury your face in her hair and breathe her in love-making can be so routine as to leave one longing ©December 10, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Oh yes indeed, Ida, Zoe is my all. She is a wonderful, energetic, keeping-me-young, mutt, and I love her. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
