A shadow on the wall
talked to a curious dog on the sidewalk,
what they said was without sound,
what was understood not known.
The dog eventually moved on, the wall
waited for the next shadow.

About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

CUTE :)
Love it! Keep going, Pat ... you are almost down to three lines. ;-)
"If these walls could talk . . ."
This is nice.
I like this one Pat!
Very much!
Margie
And today I saw a man punch his dog for getting out of his truck when he didn't want him too. Cruelty I don't understand.
they must have been discussing canine news... love this one!
Very intriguing idea!
wow!
you don't miss a thing Pat
Loved it.
I like this for more reasons than I can put into words.
dog man's best friend
almost like his shadow
I guess.
:o)
Bravo!
you often have a nice twist at the ending
loved all the three last posts, particularly the dinner plan...
my baby is doing well...
Thanks Pat...
And so it seems at times. Good one Pat.
I can just see it. Love the wall as the 'observer' in the poem.
superb take
loved it
what a pow-wow the wall and dog must have!
great image, pat, like it!
Janice thanks!! Hope you're feeling better.
SB, 3 lines is too much for me to handle, I'll leave those to the experts. Thank you!!
Julia, I'd paint them with a sealer if they could. Thank you!!
Thank you Margie!!
No Joyce I don't either. One of the cockers we got 7 years ago, that died this past March, had been abused. Never got so close to a dog as I did her.
Polona, something about what falls between the cracks. Thank you!!
MB, thank you!!
Mikaelah, nothing strange and unimportant anyway. Thank you!!
Jon Cox thank you!!
Anon, thank you, those are enough!!
Trinitystar, the best ones are!!
Thanks Vaughn!!
Sage, sounds like the irony of life. Thank you!!
Amalendu, good to hear from you and all is well!! Thank you!!
Thanks Don!!
Thanks Inconsequential!!
Tim thank you!!
Thank you Pris!! Imagine how many shadows that wall has put up with...
Thanks Floots!!
Dsnake, sure you didn't mean a bow-wow?? Thanks!!
walls only come alive with shadows!
thanks for keeping up with me.... I am off the net indefinitely and will add more art ASAP!
Nina I'm sorry. Hope all is well...
Offbeat and intriguing at the same time! Very imaginative, enjoyed this one :)
