Dog-tired Simplicity

entry picture

Some things weigh more than verse, it’s true,

Like a baby’s cry or a dog’s need to chew.

A kettle’s loud whistle, talk shows that fight,

TikTok trends fading into the night.

 

Our days are a mix of both bright and the bland,

With meals that we savour and dawn’s gentle hand.

Viral clips flicker, then quickly they fade,

Yet in simple moments, our memories are made.

 

Through ups and through downs, life’s a wild ride,

With heartbeats and laughter right by our side.

In acts that are simple, our stories unfold,

With love in our lives, the best tales are told.

A light-hearted touch here RBK. Particularly like the first verse.
