wag your tail, it's wednesday

i'm trying not to bother you

but oh, i love you so

i just want your attention

but i don't let it show

i try not to attack you

when you come home at night

i wait until you're ready

and give me the green light

i try to stay outside your door

and not invade your space

but i cannot contain my love

so i come and lick your face

sometimes i am a bother

you have to walk and feed

and playing fetch is one thing else

i really, really, need

i'm trying hard to be

exactly what you want

but i'm a dog, i'm not a cat

so I can't act nonchalant

i love you with my whole self

from nose to tip of tail

no matter how you treat me

my love will never fail

a human's love can die

some loving feelings end

but no matter what may happen

dogs love you to the end

she thinks

she isn't like most others

she lives inside her head

perhaps because her early years

were often spent in bed

she didn't travel with her feet

she journeyed in her mind

just to entertain herself

and see what she might find

boredom does not plague her

when entertainment stops

she doesn't need nintendo

or to visit endless shops

all she has to do

is take a look around

observing in her mind

the connections she has found

following each one

to where it might arrive

the twists and turns she takes

make her journeys come alive

oh what will she become

from such a unique start

her ideas are her creations

her thoughts her form of art

i do not know the answers

but this i do convey

never stop envisioning

the world in your own way

wag your tail, it's wednesday

This part of a tail is from the Gulf Breeze zoo in Florida. You can feed many of the animals, consequently they come quite close to you. While we were stalking animals, they were stalking us. This turkey came up from behind Amy and surprised her, then followed us until the peacock took over. I guess they have a pecking order, ha ha!

Schools Kill Creativity

after viewing this video i wrote:

i wish i had unschooled you, all of your years

watching this video, brought me to tears

knowing how much, "real" school stole from my dears

and how much i missed, because of my fears
