Here's sheer rarity … a Valentine's Day poem to your handsome, obviously, happy mutt.
From his comfy looks and your bright smile, I'd say you both had a great day.
Nice play on the popular excerpt from Sir Edmund Spenser's 1650 poem "The Faery Queen".
"It was upon a Sommers shynie day,
When Titan faire his beames did display,
In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew,
She bath’d her brest, the boyling heat t’allay;
She bath’d with roses red, and violets blew,
And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forest grew."
Love the snapshot of You and Baxter … still smiling! ⁓ Richard🖌

I like to write about my life. Sounds a little narcissistic, right? But it's the challenges, the griefs, the joys, the faith struggles, and the enjoyment of nature that inspires me. I have published t.. more..
