Dog Thoughts on a Saturday Night

DOG THOUGHTS ON A SATURDAY NIGHT ~rough draft
by April Halprin Wayland

No light. No owner.
No ring of phone.

No toy, no friend
no large soup bone.

Life looms large
when I’m alone.

 

This is a mask poem–in which the poet becomes an animal or object and speaks from that perspective.  And these are rhymed couplets.
