CHARLIE

is the funniest

and biggest

dog you will

ever meet;

 and he reminds me of Clifford

the BIG RED DOG,

because when he rolls

in the red georgia clay

he turns red...well, rather

PINK.

here he is waiting

for his spot in front

of the fire!

and for his dinner,

i love olivia's face.

LOOK

at little

CHESTER;

HORSE!!!!!

A Weekend in Georgia

We are home;

with family.

The kids played,

and smiled,

and played

 and played some more....

And there were these pretty girls;

and being

merry....

back into the car

and headed

south a few miles

to Griffin.

Monday's Poem

Cardinal

Against the grey sky,

in the drizzle of an early morning rain,

your fiery red atop the branch

of a tall green pine,

warbling a song to your mate

who calls back to you from the thicket

of the mulberry brush,

I watch; I listen.

You are there every morning,
six mornings in a row,
looking, calling for her,
your lifetime mate.

I wonder if you've done this each day,
coming to this very same tree
while she gathers the berries;
you, stoic in your perch there,
watching in your puffed up way.                                                                                                      photo image source

You, persistent in stance,
consistent with presence,
relentless in song,
and I,
I sit still with awe.
