a senryu/ haiku and tanka sequence with a repeating line
a mongrel
leaps over the wall
tail wagging
my calloused hand
over its mangy back
a mongrel
cocks its leg at the park sign
pets not allowed
a mongrel
lies down and shows
its belly—
I trace the scar
of broken trust
a mongrel
drags her teats along
to the hobo’s whistle
Like!
Cheers Donna
celebrating a faithful good but not so elegant dog. Nice.
🙂 thanks Paul
A bit like a lot of us perhaps 😉
