My Example poem

Puppy Dreams     (Trochetta)

Dogs do dream I have a notion-

dreams of pleasant things.

Mine can't dream about the ocean

nor the pomp of kings.

Ocean's spray he's not discovered,

royalty's abstract!

Grizzy burrows under covers

firm against my back.

Twitches might mean he is running

after his green ball;

Maybe he's supine and sunning

waiting for my call.
