In a deluge of showers
outside daffodil flowers
we are warn inside
dogs bark
cinnamon buns in the oven
cinnamon chips in the double boiler
a sweet treat for you,
my babies.
Fledgling humans play upstairs
playing puppy is a favorite pretend.
Little pretend puppy jumps
to lick me
and say I love you.
He is the puppy
she is the pups owner
his name is sweetie pie.
They love me with all their hearts
and for that I give them mercy
as I prepare them for adulthood.
...e.a., i'm transported to my dogs seeing me; to the pre-K megrandson Kai goes to and all those lil' huggers coming up to me and hugging me, calling me PaPaw[tho of course i'm not their papaw...that last stanza is our essence. love this. ricky ricardo would say 'you 'splain it so well.'
