Transformation
By Ann Chiappetta
My City Dogs become Porch mongrels
Laying beside the mason jar of sun tea
The basso drone of a honey bee
The snap of a Jay’s call
The aroma of a grill
A whisking breeze bestows relief
It is a call to prayer
Soon we will rise
Shake free of the delightful
porch-dog torpor
trade the carefree for the city
But for now we are country hounds.

I thought I’d share a slice of life with our best friends.
Poo on a shoe
By Ann Chiappetta
The day began in good faith and plan
Rising at six a.m.
Busy with brewing dark roast
coffee aroma disguising the odiferous
Tang of poo
Deposited along my route to the office
Unknowingly I cam across it
And tracked the goop hither and yon
And blithely carried on
It was the second time that did it
My sneaker stepped in the middle
Of the big pile with a squelch
And , slip and slide
Then the smell arrived.
Dog shit on my best Merrills
And stuck in this muck
What was I going to do?
I, of course yelled down the hall for my husband
And as we coordinated the clean-up
With gagging and nose plugs
He said,
“Honey, why did it have to be you?”
Dedicated to the family dogs, Bailey and May

In the Sun
By Ann Chiappetta
Bandana the cat dozes
A ginger tabby
lazes in the pumpkin patch
Hooded candy corn yellow eyes
the sphinx
basking in the warm praise of Ra.
