more effort than backpacking
as puppy attests

pets
Summer Break
weekday hiking joys:
mostly-empty trails with dogs
who love each other
uncompromised views
of our blue-sky perfect peaks
and wildflowers
best of all? no work
to big down miles of fun,
of escapism
Dog Days
dog adventure day:
dog parks to dog patios
to reign in summer
Broken Blossoms
life lived in moments
from crises to remedies
(one day’s event course)
broken cars and drains
cannot break twenty-one years
of kept promises
so let’s build fires
to burn the losses of life
and collars of hope
because even pup
knows how to tolerate pain
as peonies pop
A Day at a Time
between this sunrise
painted so perfectly pink
and this steak dinner
lay a fasting day
of walking, planting, napping
fifteen days, hours
May Musings
our yard: spring heaven–
filtered crabapple flowers,
burgeoning aspen
red tulips bursting
while puppy and Daddy rest
for Sunday funday
crabapple city
beckons my perfect cycle
through pink and white parks
KittyPup
miracles happen
when exhaustion hits us all
and we learn to love
Heartapoo
national pet day:
for this ratty-haired puppy
i give way too much
PowderPoo
pomapoo powder
won’t complain of April snow
snow play any day
Catch Me a Breeze
a sunny Sunday
is made for panting puppies
searching for blue skies
