Dog Psalm #92

Know your Icons.

They know you.

Abstracts

I didn't think I'd be keen on abstracts 

but their appeal kind of sneaks up on you.

If you spend a little time with them

you can almost get a scent picture.

After the storm

the sky is an abstract painting.

 

The cloud swirls hardly hint at the darkness and power 

that has so recently passed through.

Inspiration

doesn't always come.

Sometimes it must be conjured.

The artist at work

Morning is my muse.

Andy and Me

Andy said people get 15 minutes of fame.

Which means dogs get 1 hour and 45 minutes.

So why not use a minute or two

in a pink imitation of pop art?

Wood Sprites

 In my mind's eye I can see them

Awakening in their forest beds

and making preparations for

 the celebration of Spring.

She returns

with dirty laundry and photos of

 

Times Square

 

quilts from Gees Bend

 

amazing bead work

 

statues in Columbus Circle

 

For city trips

I'm happiest as an arm chair  traveler.

Valentine

Be Mine 
xox

I believe

in fairies. 

They dance on the window sill when you are not looking.

They are bashful and will dart away if you try and stare at them.

But once you sense they are near

 

you can see them in your mind's eye

and the outfits they would wear...

GoD and DoG

 The best book I ever read.

and it's not just a book -

it's an animated video and a song.

Go enjoy it!

Frog-golye

 Gets inside a book.

 

Visits with art. Takes the time to look.

 

Hey, I think that's my Grandpa.

Esmerelda

is a seer

who doesn't suffer fools gladly.

She dispatches Pierre

her trustworthy man-servant;

'Go tell them the truth -

Expect more harsh conditions.'

Three Little Maids

 

 Three little maids from school are we

Pert as a school-girl well can be

Filled to the brim with girlish glee

Three little maids from school

 

Everything is a source of fun

Nobody's safe, for we care none

Life is a joke that's just begun

Three little maids from school

  

Three little maids who, all unwary

Come from a ladies' seminary

Freed from its genius tutelary

Three little maids from school.

Three Little Maids From School

Behold

 

Miracles arrived at their appointed time.

 

The Seed Babe brings Glad Tidings.

His tiny hand reaches out to hold all of humanity.

His message - care for each other.

Share love. Have hope.

Holiday Snacking

Yes, Thank you. I do like cheese.

But I need a little help with the lid.

And sometimes the serving utensils are too big for me to handle.

I like it best at the nut bowl.

. . .

Nodding Off Near the Culture Cliff

Oh! Is the movie over?

I thought they might never stop their insipid yapping.

Why did I think Funny People would be funny?

I should know better by now.

We let the Wind

harvest for us.

All we must do is

be alert and pay attention,
with open minds and empty pockets,

as we roam
each day

through our
wondrous, bountiful
neighborhood.

Most of the wind's offerings
I recognize 

as delicious treats. I seek crunch and tang.

She sees them as

pieces of a whole being

bodies, arms, heads, eyes
"the sum is more than the whole"

She seeks to
sustain transformational change.

I seek
the pattern of snacks,
and panting, patter, prancing of
the good life.
Each new day's greatness is up to you.
 What do you seek? How do you choose?

Word Travels

Owl overheard Squirrel telling Penguin.

 

Penguin then confided in the Reindeer.

 

And then that blabby Penguin

got Rabbit and Mouse caught up.

 

Do you believe it? asked Mouse

I'm not sure that I do confessed Rabbit.

Then the Acorn Lady set the record straight.

  

WHO KNEW

 

word could travel so fast?
