Who Chooses the Music (Day 481)

My cat is a tiger lily, 
wild and bright.
Vivaldi is his kryptonite.
To get him into bed at night,
I turn on The Four Seasons.

My dog is innocent 
as a daisy.
Bach settles her 
when she feels crazy. 
Sheep safely grazing 
make her lazy.
She finds sonatas pleasing. 

Sweet music soothes
the savage beast,
so I’ve collelcted quite a feast
of Beethoven, Hydn, and Liszt,
for pets who need appeasing. 

Who needs another reason?

The Dog & I (Day 224)

You see, the dog 
        & I took 
                a walk 
        this evening 

Our neighborhood 
        came out 
                to greet 
       her—all of her 
favorite friends 

& she just 
        smiled & smiled
                with that 
        particularly canine 
breed of joy

At that moment
        a thought fluttered 
                 down & alit 
        on my shoulder: 
This 
is feeling 
like Everything is 
going to 
be 
all right
