Eighty pounds of joy, laughter without end
never again will I encounter such a friend
Chasing a half-deflated basketball
summers romping among grasses my friend
Brindled and sleek, quick and yet very meek
a kinder dog no one will ever befriend
Winters sharing blankets; cords by the ton
you, staring at the heater, as if a friend
Me now looking heavenward lost, alone
searching for you, my lost and faithful friend
--- a Ghazal
In celebration of National Poetry Month (April),
I am joining many others in an attempt
to write and post a poem a day.
After years of inactivity
this blog should soon be swirling in words,
if it all works as planned!
Maureen Thorson has a wonderful site which links to many, many poem-a-day blogs. Be sure to take a look at it, one never knows what one will find!!!
