Who shows up
no matter when
to help
anyone in need
precariously perched
clementines
are a danger
she clearly
foresees
this noble hound
lies dreamily by
spotty snout
twitching
mesmerized by
sweet citrus treats
aching for deliverance
Written in 2005 back when our beagle -basset Sophie ( who turns 13 yo next month) , loved tangerines like crazy. We had a crate of them stacked in a fruit bowl once and she always laid facing that bowl .Her tummy can no longer handle them anymore, poor girl.
