Sheila's Dribs 'n Drabs

Rippling fur over rippling grass where Dog chases tennis ball and passes Languorous cat on the rippling path. Dog stops. Cat stares. Cat licked it.

Chattering, nattering, Twittering, flittering, Squirrel and bluebird With bitter conflictering Both want their ease In the same stand of trees While puppy dog’s skittering Free.

Yellow gold ball in the sky shining down Yellow green ball over grass flying round Chased by yellow-haired dog with a smile Sounding happy delight.

She lies so still Tail flicks and stirs Her memories Her dreams. I touch her rumpled silken fur In memories Dreams And miss her Still. With thanks for pets
