The Tale of Brulee

Neville

The Tale of Brulee

 

As she lay there, on the rear seat

of his truck like that ..

Her wheaten coat, did catch

the first few rays of our new spring

and damn me ..

If she did not look near golden ..

Just like

the burnished cloak of some

high Aztec priest he thought ..

And even from

that distance, he needed Ray Bans

for the glare ..

While she, did either feel or hear

or smell

the breeze of him approaching ..

And her rudder

started flapping both to and fro

and here to there ………..........  x

    Is it a dog?.... is it a plane?...... is it a bird?...... It's Batgirl..... no.... I digress......

    Well Neville once again an engmatic challenge... I've read it three times and I can't get the image of a golden retriever laid on the back seat out of my mind. Wagging it's rudder of a tail.

    A dog's tail can be the most destructive article known to mankind in the wrong circumstances.

      Dogs know how to enjoy themselves, as the thirst for life shows. I just tell mines he's chipped, so he can take himself out and get lost and then found. lol

        Don't they just ............................... cheers Paul ......................................... N 🙂

        And as the truck moved off, there would be no more laying around. The joy of a dog in a moving vehicle......

          love the image of that last line
          'rudder' is such an apt wording..
          I remember as a child
          we had a huge Dane, dense black in colour
          so black, it glowed
          like a moonless night sky
          and every evening, when my father
          commuting back home
          would turn the car
          on to our street, half a mile
          from our door
          the barking would begin
          so energetic, every night
          as-if
          trying to pull the car along those last few yards, a little quicker..
          (if you're not some monster of a human
          and love dogs
          I consider you kin..
          I'm simple minded, like that
          unashamedly so!) lol

                    What an image portrayed so finely! I almost saw the dog's tail just wagging back and forth. Very well done! ✨

                        …and I thought you’d be writing about a
                        crème brûlée you’d be enjoying after your walk with your dog.😉

                              What a lovely description of one of man’s best friend…most loyal at heart….felt nostalgic about my old friend who grew up with me and my cousins…it was a German shepherd…very well crafted dear Neville and thanks for sharing and you reignited my forgotten memories

                              • Neville



                                thanks for visiting spills & I am delighted these words served as the catalyst for re-igniting some of those fond memories ................................ Neville
