Run, jog, walk

Warm up
Walk
Jog a little
Walk a little
Jog a little
Enjoy the cool
The sunrise
The dog trotting beside me
Jog a little
Sweat a lot
Jog a little
Keep going
Jog some more
Sweat, sweat, sweat
Pound, pound, pound
Walk a little
Walk a lot
Home!

Spring Rain

Lightning
Thunder
Rain... drumming
Clouds... rolling
Night... falling
Stars... appearing
Clouds... fleeing
Sun... rising
Robins... singing
Breeze... blowing
Grass... greening
Tulips... peeking
Spring
Returning.

Goodbye Best Pet Friend

To my dear Spotty cat,
faithful friend of the entire family,
aka King Cat,
aka Cat Dog,
who had more than 90 lives,
who never lost a battle,
who survived a possum fight,
and then a raccoon battle,
along with all the resultant battle scars,
who scared off other predators,
and ran to greet us when we drove up,
who could perform better tricks than any dog,
who could talk back to us,
who began life on the farm where I grew up,
who would not purr for six months, and then
greeted me each and every early morning without fail,
and who ruled majestically over this land for
14 years.
May your strong spirit to live
continue to be present
as we go about lives.
You will never be forgotten,
rest in peace,
dearest pet friend.
