Every old hound dog I ever knew was named Blue, the blue tick, the coon hound, the Bassett with rheumy eyes that waited in a wallered out spot in a neighbor’s yard for a touch, a glance, waited patiently into the blue, blue yonder.
For dVerse Poets Pub “Eyeing the Quadrille #147”.
I love the blue anticipation from those eyes.

Alight, I lean more to cats than dogs. However I love dogs too. And yes, nice, both picture and poem. They tethered me in and allowed me to remain and breath in more deeply. How do we measure life? This here is one way. Thanks.
