"Dogs and Poetry"

Last night I dreamed dogs were giving a reading
in my living room-long-haired, handsome, golden
and chocolate, teacup poodles, a mix or two-
panting, stacked on a loft, pouncing one at a time
onto center stage couch, poems wet in their teeth-
collies on edge, pugs in love, shepherds fierce
with loyalty, labs with their hot heads in my lap.
I was sitting with them, coaching, petting, biscuits
by my side, rewards for their poems (mostly about love!)
which astonished the audience-a miracle, so fresh,
original, they barked in iambic pentameter, singing
the blues these dogs were so damn cool we all wanted
to nibble their pink bellies, suck life into our tired souls.
