Poetry is Power: Dogs are friends forever

 

Dogs,

Are friends,

Are love,

Are happiness,

Are fun,

Are companions.

Dogs are amazing,

They are so important to our lives,

They brighten things up when it gets dark.

They are always our friends,

They listen to us,

They are always positive and wanting to play,

They tell us that everyone needs a friend,

And it’s the truth,

We all need a friend in this world,

And dogs are great at being friends.

Maybe they are trying to teach us a lesson,

Trying to tell us,

That everyone needs a friend,

And we can help with that,

We can be,

Kind and caring,

Thoughtful and patient,

We can be friends,

Just like the dogs,

Because dogs are,

Friends forever.

The dapper sparrow of the underbrush: Eastern towhee 

June 18, 2025
From forest edges and thickets on late spring mornings in the Northeast comes what sounds like an exhortation from across the pond: Drink your tea! This is not a British parent’s plea but rather the song of a chunky, colorful sparrow: the eastern towhee.  The eastern towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus, or “red-eyed chipper”) is found in…

‘The Shrouds’ is another erotic techno-thriller from David Cronenberg 

June 18, 2025
Humans have difficulty dealing with death. Canadian auteur David Cronenberg is not immune to this affliction. His wife of nearly 40 years passed away in 2017. Cronenberg said on record that “The Shrouds” is one measure of his grieving process. We all handle grief differently. Maybe not quite as different as Cronenberg or his protagonist,…
