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.
