OUT THERE
20 August 2013

Somewhere north of here
and to the west
where men stand upright
not upside down
like us in the Southern Hemisphere,
there is a spot
a hallowed spot
a certain house
and there is a man there,
and his dog
who is not called Spot
for he has no spots
and the man and his dog
have changed the world for me
and they will forever
wipe away my tears and fears
and love me
and my dog and my cat
as we will comfort him and love them both.

Beautifully rendered, Owl. Nothing much more to say except Happy Loving!

Thank you, Spiros.  Sadly, it isn't quite the same, any more, as you will see from my 3 poems today.  He wants time out.
