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.

When I was a young man, the legal drinking age was 18. That meant that a good chunk of teenagers could go out to the bars while still in high school. Admittedly, this caused some problems. I should know; I was one of them.  When I was 20 years old, the state of Vermont changed…

Mosquitoes in the rain

May 21, 2025
If you’re a mosquito and it’s a warm spring afternoon, you’re out cruising the air currents on your tiny wings. But as you buzz around, the sun warming your exoskeleton, the clouds roll in, heralding a spring shower. Balls of water up to 50 times heavier than your body begin plummeting out of the sky.…
