I will post poems all this month and I hope you enjoy them
I am a fan of the late poet, Jane Kenyon. I also love my dogs. In this poem, Jane explains the trust our beloved pets have in us.
Biscuit by Jane Kenyon
The
dog has cleaned his bowl
and his reward is a biscuit,
which I put in his mouth
like a priest offering the host.
I can't bear that trusting face!
He asks for bread, expects
bread, and I in my power
might have given him a stone.
Like the incessant 'days' I believe that every month should be poetry month.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like the one you featured.
My poetry is too simplistic. I can only get as far as rhyming which comes easily. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteMarie, you can learn more about writing poetry by taking classes. Also, if you read poetry every day you will learn more about how to write those rhymes. Join Your Daily Poem and you will receive a poem in your email every day. Jayne Jaudon Ferrer is the editor of this program. I think you would like it. Read the comments after the poems, too. They tell us so much.
ReplyDeleteEC, thank you. I found Jane Kenyon about a year after she died from cancer, I believe. Then I had to have all her books and felt such a kinship with her.
