These Dog Poems

THESE DOG POEMS ~ rough draft
by April Halprin Wayland

are like a pile
of fresh-baked puppies,
weaving over and under each other.

How can I possibly
line up these squirming furballs?
When do I snap the picture?

It’s always fun to throw
an unanswered question or two into a poem.

  1. A pile of fresh-baked puppies! LOVE that.
    I’ve been amazed (well, maybe not since it’s you) at the range of emotions/voices you’ve portrayed in these poems all month, April – these last few days especially. Thanks for sharing!
