Saturday Afternoon













poets united
sunday scribblings

stepping out
this afternoon
i saw
a plump cavalier spaniel
being walked by
a little hunched elf man

cooing and ooo-ing
over the cute
well groomed beastie
i stroked its soft silky ears

the  tiny man almost cried
at my effusive praise
of his beloved friend  

cant remember
when i saw such pride
and joy drawn across a face

as if i were the first
to ever notice

and  indeed sadly
i may have been

he made my day
i made his

and this poem
immediately
leapt on to the page

    A poem is a way to remember. Also a reminder of how little kindness there is out there!

    Elves and their pets should not be ignored, you did the right thing.
