Dog Tag

dangling
grapes from my hand
the jungle gym not high
enough--unshepherd-like glints sour

  1. You temptress, you! Good one by the resident cinquain-queen.

    (Wow, you're acquiring quite a number of honorifics this summer: witch, temptress, cinquain-queen, word-play mistress...)

  2. I'm blushing! Do you know I was teased as: "goody two-shoes" a lot, even as an undergraduate! I never understood--just hadn't tasted the right liquor, yet...

    Emily had me pinned with "a liquor never brewed from tankards scooped in pearl..."

    Now I enjoy liqueurs... aging helps!! LOL.

    Thank you for your honorifics, they're terrific! ~Kay

    I like Dickinson's I taste a liquor never brewed...

  4. Thank you, Chen-ou. I love Emily Dickinson. I did not love the German Shepherd in this excerpt of my life! LOL. ~Kay
