well done, but I don't think a dog has any idea of its own mortality!

Thank you so very much for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!
never dwell on one obstacle too long for tomorrow is another day

I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety or fear try to call me, they keep getting a busy signal - and soon they'll forget my number.

((( I have a cat 24..this July. I can relate to this very much. I pray every day...God just takes Cuddles in his sleep..Oh, for a miracle indeed. Animals do know their mortality...many animals will go off alone to meet eternal rest. I feel they're much closer to understanding then we think...wonderful poetry poddar ! )))

Kushal, I think you could expand this poem. I felt I wanted to reach through the open boards of the poem's walls to pull out the old dolls and toys, and find the smell of the lilacs ... I'm not sure what. Or maybe you succeeded in getting me this far. The intuition of the dog added a good anchor to the poem that otherwise would float away into memory.

Sorry, Poddar, I am only on my PC a few hours of the day and want so much to vist my friends here. That said, this poem is stamped with your quality and keen eye. I love this:

The old hound with musty gray smell

sharpens ears; harks what may be foot-steps

steps of a girl, prodigal, careless.

I love the last line as well, Poddar!
I was chuckling.
Because it just sounds as if the person wishes they no longer had to see.

Poddar, it's been such a long time since I have had the opportunity to read your material. I'm glad to see you are becoming better with each passing year. I appreciated this poem and a part of me felt the rain lol.
