I love most of my poems, for at least a while. Sometimes I have poems that are favorites just because they keep making me smile. This is one of those. Featuring the unusual dog delights me. Rarely do I have attached photos but this photo just goes with it. I hope this also brings you a smile.
My Heart is a Radish Today, ft. Dog
A mongrel Scottie dog
shouldering a hairy ruff
like a boar or a bison,
is tied up outside the coffee cafe
waiting for its person.
The latte foam is a perfect heart.
White ridges of cream encircling
and my heart becomes a vegetable.
Turnip love.
