Doggerel

This video poem is presented by our dog, Sophie. The pun of dog and doggerel is intended.

What would it be like
to lead a dog's life
and not know
you lead a dog's life?
I do.

I had over-parked my time
with wretched rhymes
and jingle-jangle lines.

My metered mind
had run out of nickels,
so I began to write free verse.

I moved to assonance
and dissonance,
from passonance to pissonance
and found myself
the dog's delight.
