    Poem Commentary

    A story of a dog who wanted to go out and dance in the leaves so badly that he started barking relentlessly until his master let him out.

    Woofing To The Sound Of The Autumn Wind

    I bark upon deaf ears,
    Sitting, staring, wagging my tail,
    And still you do not come for me.


    My heart pounds with envy,
    As the leaves dance on the front lawn,
    Yet I find myself trapped in this house.


    I dream of dancing among them,
    Smiling with anticipation,
    I find myself unable to escape.


    In the moment that I have lost hope,
    With gentle sounds of footsteps and hinges,
    I find my cell open, and the dance floor is mine.

    I like this. Like a lot. Haha the perspective is performed beautifully, it makes me think of my own dog.. I picture her at the door, whining until she gets out into the leaves. Great job as always pap, keep writing.

    I just re-read this and at a time that is most appropriate here in the mixed up climate that I live within (Florida)... I like this more and more and find new meaning with each exploration! Soul

    I've gotta agree with Dah...The last stanza is my favorite. I used to hang a sign on my dog's cage when she was a pup that said "Doing Time". Thanks for the laugh Pops.

    the poetic beauty in this piece is breathtaking to say the least. one of your best: "In the moment that I have lost hope, With gentle sounds of footsteps and hinges, I find my cell open, and the dance floor is mine" —this is masterful writing and imagery. Bravo!!

    Thanks!

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
