Joyous Freedom Poem by Glen Kappy

Joyous Freedom

Rating: 5.0


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.

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

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
