What images
for joyous freedom
can I make?
A city dog
let loose
into a meadow.
A Lab
from summer heat
who plunges in a lake.
Glen, you make me yearn for the freedom of summer! Great images. We used to have a Great Dane cross ridgeback, who, when let loose in the meadow, was a wonder to behold. He would run like a horse, and sometimes chase rabbits like a greyhound.
hey, laurie! i was just responding to the comment above, saw yours with no reply from me, and wondered if i ever did. the ridgeback comment of yours sounds familiar. anyway, if i never did respond before, sorry, and thanks, as always, for taking the time to read my poems and comment. appreciatively, glen

Nice imagery! The idea of freedom well captured!
thanks, ruta. i wrote this after seeing a dog unleased in the park just down from my house. and then i remembered how much retrievers love the water. hoping you're well, glen
