Mustard Dogs

 

Black dogs among the mustard plants

Like huge, speckled bumblebees,

Foraging not for pollen but for scents,

A whiff of friends held on the breeze.

 

Their shiny fur dappled with golden dust

As if a fairy has participated in the fun,

Their morning romp intrinsic to their day,

Our habitual pleasure in fog or sun.

 

A coronet of pollen on their lush coats,

The sweet comfort of their smiles,

A halo of yellow reflects their good hearts,

Naïve to human duplicity and wiles.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
