The Tale of Brulee

The Tale of Brulee

 

As she lay there, on the rear seat

of his truck like that ..

Her wheaten coat, did catch

the first few rays of our new spring

and damn me ..

If she did not look near golden ..

Just like

the burnished cloak of some

high Aztec priest he thought ..

And even from

that distance, he needed Ray Bans

for the glare ..

While she, did either feel or hear

or smell 

the breeze of him approaching ..

And her rudder 

started flapping both to and fro 

and here to there ...........……. x

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Now I knew from first off this poem was about your dog and how fond you are of her and dogs in general, so I wasn't fooled by thinking this was about a dame from the past sprawled across the back seat of your truck :) I can see Brulee's tail wagging in appreciation as she picks up your scent. So poetic in description and imagery. Nice work says I.

Thanks for your clarifying note. Can't recall any of my lady friends having rudders. If they did, I don't think I got any of them flapping.

Had me going for sure!! Visions of beautiful blondes in the seat of the truck blinding the senses. And the x at the end put me over the top so your note saved me from an embarrassing review. For that, we thank you!

What a wonderful, witty, loveful tribute to your dog. Or more specifically a tribute to your dogs tail. A tale of your dog. Or the tale of your dog. Stop confusing me Neville. I still like it.

I love dogs, and most animals for that matter, so that wagging tail swells my heart in my troubled times. No matter our situation, our canine friends can always chase our blues away with their generosity and companionship. Whoever domesticated the dog was a genius, in my opinion. A clever poem, Neville. Had me guessing your theme the whole way through. ❤
