Wild Indulgence by Elise Powers
I love the idea from Elise Powers of "wild indulgence." And, I can picture her neighbor and her dogs --- in such a happy scene --
"There is a woman in my neighborhood
with not one, but six
full-grown St. Bernard dogs.
She tethers them to her waist
and trots the happy troop
up and down the street."
Good for her and why should we not engage in some wild indulgence.
Some poems remind us that joy does not always arrive quietly. Sometimes it walks beside us, impossible to hide. Thank you for celebrating the sacred abundance of ordinary life.
