Monday's Poem

photo by Matthew Mahoney

I have two books of poetry published by Black Moss Press, an anthology with poet friends: A Thousand Yellow Leaves (Cranberry Tree Press), and a chapbook, the very heart of away (Literary Arts Windsor). I am currently working on a collection of dog poems about our Old English Sheepdog, Manfred.

december

in the morning the world is
suddenly white with snow that keeps
falling

the dog snuffles and snaps, sniffs
and runs a trail through the yard
happy

the wind ruffles his head and instantly
his nose goes up and he sits as if waiting
praise

snow clings in clumps on the fur of
his legs and he shakes himself once, twice
silently

dog of the first snow, curled content in
the white drifting, how easily you acquiesce to
winter
