Along the Way I want to walk and the dog wants to stop to sniff and piss on every love note along the way. I should be more patient. I should let him be a dog, but it’s cold and I want to get home to the couch, my laptop and the TV. For this is what I’ve come to Red Sox, Celtics, 24, CNN, Netflix. Repeat. The dog is old. When he dies I will regret I wasn’t more patient. I didn’t let him be a dog. Regret will follow me around Regret will leash itself to me. Will I get another dog? Will I get off the couch? Where are my love notes? I should be more patient. I should sniff more along the way. The prompt, and my own New Year’s resolution to write a poem a week, did prompt me to write a poem, however it is not true to the prompt.

Along the Way

I want to walk
and the dog wants to stop
to sniff and piss
on every love note along the way.

I should be more patient.
I should let him be a dog,
but it’s cold and I want to get home
to the couch, my laptop and the TV.

For this is what I’ve come to
Red Sox, Celtics, 24, CNN, Netflix.
Repeat.

The dog is old.
When he dies I will regret
I wasn’t more patient.
I didn’t let him be a dog.
Regret will follow me around
Regret will leash itself to me.

Will I get another dog?
Will I get off the couch?
Where are my love notes?
I should be more patient.
I should sniff more
along the way.

What a clever and convincing way to bring in Hercules too. I also like how you draw out the scene and build tension with all the details. What a clever and convincing way to bring in Hercules too.

I'm so glad that the Hercules drawing was neither too subtle or too overbearing - it was too delicious to resist! Thank you, Therese, for taking the time to read my poem and to comment!

This was an interesting challenge for me - when I first began writing, I didn't feel much a relationship with the words...but soon I found myself transported to this very interesting cafe. :) Thank you, David, for taking the time to read my poem and to comment!

I too like the big ideas hovering over the table (gives the scene such tension -- and we never know the specific question -- it could be anything!), but it's the little details that drew me in, especially: "Like the spoons spackled To cheap paper napkins" Glad you’re here!
