Cinema Trumped By Puppy

The joy of having a puppy
food bits scattered
like dandelions, water tipped,
energy in abundance, frenzied
like a lapping tongue, a wagging tale
with kisses wet like diamonds,
pearls moist like infants crying
for the first
time - beer on innocence tapped.
Jackie what happened? Jackie
what happened? Your legacy, beauty
on bareback - you ride.
Legacy weeps in your midst;
the misty air adores
the misty,
heir adores
the joy of naïveté,
energy in abundance, hyper
like dandelions, water tipped,
food bits scattered
the joy of having a puppy.
