Poetess Interruptus
next door dog/ is barking/ again/
incessantly/ sounds like/
let me in/ let me in
why not just/ plop down/
on warm wood deck/ sniff
infinite green/ let bee hum/ lull/
linger/ in long lazy stretch/
sunshine lacing/ in and out/
of leaf waves
what is this want/ of stale/
artificial cool/ denied sunlight/
TV blair?
there/ it’s stopped/ no more
jarring/ poor dog/ lost
to nature/ like the human/
it lives with

Kathleen – so much to love here: the title, of course, the experimenting ////, “sniff infinite green,” well, the whole dang poem. Interesting that he wants in when we all want out! You can make a poem out of anything. Kudos for doing a poem each day.
Sylvia, you are always so encouraging!! Means a lot to me!
Funny thing, I read the poem, thought “Oh I like that!”, then I realized you wrote it! Of course, I like it! Woof, woof!
I love how you turnan ordinary situation of a dog barking into a metaphor.
I smiled when I read the title.
Great title for great poem.
Yea to the title!
