for Tillie Beagle
three squares
with the squirrels
nut-filled choppers
chatterfully blend
with beagle bays
nose to the grindstone
scent by squirrelly opponents
in miniature crop circles...
over stumps
under bushes
into tires
out of her mind
Kay,
ReplyDeleteIs this the beagle you described in your reply to my squirrel tanka?
Strong visuals. The use of "..." subtly creates an emotive effect. And the last stanza is powerful.

Chen-ou,
ReplyDeleteYes, this was Tillie. :o) You inspired me. EVEN the title, LOL. I didn't notice until this morning.
Thank you for your kind words. ~Kay
Any poem about dogs is going to win me over hands-down. I have four of them and they are my best friends.
ReplyDeleteThey have so much personality!! :o) ~Kay
