In The Dog House
give me a little time
and i'll get over
being angry with you
for making my day
a bigger challenge
than it would've been
without you here
the simple truth is
i can't stay mad at you
sometimes it seems
you are in the dog house
more than you are out
but i guess that's life
with you canine creatures
growling and fighting
chewing things you
ought not to be gnawing on
and dropping carpet bombs
in every imaginable spot
i'm always mopping
and cleaning up after
i've been away at work
all day just wanting
to relax and put
my feet up for a while
but that's the way
it is with us humans
still the three of you
are a terrific trio
and i do cherish you
written 11-5-05

In The Woodlands
there you are deep in the woodlands
dancing where the fireflies abound
no one would even know you*re there
if it wasn*t for the baying of the hounds
you sprinkle all your magic dust
where it is needed most
the garden is your favorite spot
behind our house on the eastern coast
what you do and where you go
it matters not to me at all
i only know it thrills me so when
i watch the faeries spring time ball

in your heart
it's what's
in your heart
that really matters
let it be love
and peace
and laughter
a bit of kindness
and compassion
wouldn't hurt
for that matter

It Doesn't Take Much
it doesn't take much
to make me happy-
all i need is
a good book of poetry
a soft furry dog
curled up on
the foot of my bed
a God of mercy
to believe in
and when i feel
like killing myself
i make a pizza instead
