I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping my posts up-to-date. Maybe that's an indication that things go fairly slowly at this household! Our lifestyle has become pretty laid-back, much like our friend, Maggie! Whenever she lays in the grass like this, I think of Snoopy hiding in the grass and his oft-quoted line: "Beagles in the grass, alas." Charles Schulz probably got that line from some famous poem but I wouldn't know.
I've been experimenting with different poem form types. This one is a silly one about our Maggie. It was fun, but doesn't have much literary value, I suppose.

The lazy Bassett
lay curled upon
her pillow bed,
one eye shut
the other
watching
her mistress pour
herself a cup
of coffee,
then went back
to napping.

I love everything about your blog, the name, the poems, the books you recommend for reading and all the pictures, especially of "the Mag," (my nickname for her!) :-) She is so photogenic! Why can't some of that rub off on Grandma!
