Description

Canines strut their stuff
Their owners proudly keep pace
Neighborhood parade

On my early morning walks, I often encounter dogs of various breeds and sizes strolling with their owners. I occasionally wonder what it would be like if they were to be walking in single file? AHA! A parade.

I find inspiration from the seasons, especially winter, its beauty and the challenges it presents. Also the city, downtown, community events, politics and Route 81.

I find it fun and challenging to express my thoughts and observations in seventeen syllables.

Canines struttin' their stuff? A neighborhood parade? Those two parts of this poem sparked my curiosity. What might that look like? Maybe the sun is shining down on a fun little morning in this neighborhood. Owners and their dogs struttin' down the street as the day starts to unfold. The sun maybe is smiling, some music can be heard coming from one of the houses. A truck pulls up to deliver some new furnishings to one.

When the curiosity engines are flipped on, it's not hard to build li'l universes of whimsical fun within the confines of your mind. That's where I usually find myself when creating art. This li'l neighborhood parade was a fun spot to visit on the map of imagination.
