Life on the Deckle Edge

Poetry Friday - Chillin' with a haiku in Frogpond

 

Greetings, Poetry Lovers!  It's the last week of August - does that mean the dog days of summer are coming to an end for another year? 

 

Our two-year-old Keeshond, Rookie, recently discovered that the coolest place in the house is inside the bathtub in the hall bathroom. Yep, that's where you'll find him....

 

The current issue of Frogpond (Haiku Society of America) contains a poem of mine written last winter.  But maybe if it's still hot where you are, it will transport you to a moment of cool!

PS - Anybody else old enough to remember KING BIDGOOD'S IN THE BATHTUB ["and he WON'T get out!"] by Audry and Don Wood?  It won the Caldecott in 1986; we discovered it with our wee ones in the 1990s.

 

Thanks for coming by, and please go enjoy all the Poetry Friday goodness hosted today by the shockingly clever Karen Edmisten. :0)
