A Poem from Janet Cannon's  Poetry Room at IsleWrite.com

a barking

the man up the road
has finally flipped his

cookie press running
back and forth under

the full moon at three
in the morning today

yelping human arfs
arf arf like a fearsome

watch dog barking
incessantly at wild

danger invisible to us
but scary as hell to him
