Three Dog Night
Now I lay me down to sleep.
A shaggy dog warms my feet.
Two more are there
On either side
Pressing to me their hairy hide.
My children all laugh
At such a sight
But care not I in winter's light
For it dog-gone sure
Is a three dog night.

I have about five more poems to go. That is all.

1. I'm sure you have more than five more to go...
everyday is a poem...we just have to slow down enough to write it down...keep it going.

2. I wouldn't be so quick to deny the muse, she has a way of coming
back with a vengence.

I like the image of this poem - and can visualize the dogs and the speaker and the children very well. Thanks.








BTW: I've not written a poem (or tried to write a poem) in over 5 years. But I know there is something there.... it just has to find its way out....
