reading a dachshunds ode

As I mentioned regarding the “Leaves and Grounds: Poems for the Canine Soul” painting I wrote of in my last post here, below, is another artwork with a concept related to, nested within, the afore mentioned painting. Also in this post is a poem that I wrote that relates to the ‘Leaves and Grounds’ concept.

It’s Magic – by Clancy – ink and gouache on paper

A Dog’s Ode To Spring

By Clancy

Oh, there’s sunshine

Glorious sunshine

Makes a dachshund want to roll!

Let me out

To run about

Compost is good for my soul!

Oh, the mounds

Of leaves and grounds

This dog’s heading for the pile!

Where the digging is best

I’ll make my nest

Don’t wait I’ll be here a while!

I may be groomed

But that’s all doomed

‘cause I’ll do what makes me grin!

Oh, the sunshine

Glorious sunshine

I’m here till you shout “get in!”
