Poem # 3
Ticks on dogs
Poetry in motion
Tweezers pull turn
Get the head
Ticks on dogs
In our warm tent
After a full day of work creation
Is handed to my quiet pal lying on the floor with layla the mastiff
Dog in ecstasy legs up in the air phishing on her back
Hands pulling her hair back
Squishing ticks
Tools of the trade by his side,
Tape tweezer towel
he asks
This ain't no poem is it
But both of us know
Ticks on dogs is fondly thought
Warmth after meal lazy comfort
Layin with layla
Mastiff and pal making poetry about ticks
So as you read poetry
Or live it around your life
And you hear your quiet part ask
About it ain't being a poem
Due to lack of rhyme structure tradition familiarity or understanding
But a tragedy
A sob story
Impossibility
Excuse
Or other loud breath
Know about ticks on dogs
That it is much better to be thought of on this page
As a poem thought
Than as the last moments autobiography
By the tick being tweezed
