Dog-Tired Simplicity

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind

 

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.

    You clearly need more Z's .. that's not a horizontal N by the way ..

    • arqios

      Agreed on both assertions!

    • Doggerel Dave

      Don't mind you doing some rhyming verse, but I've cornered the term for myself, thanks, and anyway your rhythm is ace.
      BTW 'In acts that are simple' provides the antidote...

      • arqios

        And what an antidote!

        Fine words arqios and that last line is so meaningful.

          Your most recent poems exemplify this with much brilliance. 👍🏻
