THE LEAVING OF JACK (written with the West Virginia Poetry Society)

Bob came to the picnic with his horse
he named Jack
and every time he ate cucumbers
(the horse that is)
he had a horsey heart attack
so Bob left the picnic that day
while Jack on the other hand
got buried out back...........
(June 11, 1994 )
 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

a poem the entire poetry meeting wrote (The Parkersburg Chapter of the West Virginia Poetry Society) at the Bonanza restaurant in Vienna, W.V. I finished it by writing the very last line. We also titled our Fall anthology "Poetic Gifts" which is the title I thought up and everyone voted for.
