PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I wouldn't say I'm a hound dog in Elvis' vision

takes a mighty wave to bring tears to these eyes

or for me to bark without intent to sink teeth

but I periodically indulge the inner mongrel

challenging the wittiest

and marking my territory

Preferred the portrayal of a portly

wily

bruised bag of bones -

durable jowls

orating a soothing hope

a Shadow in my time

an animal homeward bound

loyal rock to add to the garden

Oh, please, no unwarranted Fate tides repeating

a future 'we' doesn't belong tied to the same shock collar

Well-read, launch successful rockets

and grant us reasons to nuzzle
