My Sunshine

Photo by Ava Branstner


She sits at my feet. 

Always faithful, always loyal.

Her trust is complete, her love unconditional. 

Even when the sun is in her eyes.

...

This is a beautiful photo of our Australian red heeler, taken by my daughter, who definitely has a photographer's eye. 

The image inspired me to write a quick four-line stanza, scribbled out in about 45 seconds. Instead of developing the lines, I decided to leave them alone to preserve the moment. 

Sometimes inspiration can come quickly and unexpectedly.

Spending the Day with Freddie


Today I'm supposed to rake

But I like my coffee break

The leaves can wait 'til I'm ready

I'm spending the day with Freddie
