Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
We were walking today
for our daily constitutional
and a lady and her dog
were walking toward us
from the opposite direction.
We smiled, they smiled, and
we all walked our trajectories.
After making our first loop
we met up with them again,
this time with much friendlier,
more companionable smiles.
I mentioned a few moments later
how nice it was for the lady
not to be alone in her walk and
that I could be the dog in our situation.
So she reaches for my collar
and I began to woof, then
she mentions how she loves
to see the willows swaying
happily in the breeze, that
they don’t seem to be crying any longer.

In the literal sense it makes no sense so I go to the metaphorical. Here I find a gold mine as males arn't we all dogs? Controlled by that sexual colar willing to please for a little attention and closeness? And the willows weep no more.
You are most definitely not wrong there my friend. 🙏🏻🕊️
Enjoyable read. Well written.
Thanks John, glad ‘twas enjoyable 🙏🏻🕊
Intriguing write. If the man (who is able to bring home the bacon each week) appears to be under control then he won't wander?!!
I once showed a video of the Dax song "To Be a Man" to my wife. She didn't like it. Not that I'm saying I agree with everything Dax said in that song!
Intriguing song, thanks for pointing that way. So many nuances to be had. A valid interpretation here as well. 🙏🏻🕊
You're welcome.
A clever piece highlighting that males need for a little attention and how easily our thoughts and actions are predicted and controlled, enjoyed the read
Ah, now there’s an angle that reveals! Thanks for your insightful comments, as always. This reflects on how you pay attention and quite astute in observation. 🙏🏻🕊
You are very welcome
With the initial comments I am getting that it could pose a challenge to weigh in on this post. But y’all have been so accommodating and kind… I’m truly thankful for your effort, time, kindness, and input. It means so much 🙏🏻🕊
Good write A.
Thanks O🙏🏻🕊
Bet you're a much cherished puppy dog more than worth any mere puppy love. Exquisitely rendered with gorgeous imagery and a heartening poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.
Ah… the “puppy” word is quite all encompassing in this scenario. Thank you kindly 🙏🏻🕊
Nice story of random meeting. Delightful read
It’s really quite fascinating, these random encounters of life’s journey 🙏🏻🕊
I certainly see a positive outcome, I read this a few times, nonsense or most sense? As a woman I can say,. This poem can be read more than one way. 🌹
I agree.. there is sense in most everything, we but need to use the corresponding lenses or mindset. Thanks dear Teddy🙏🏻🕊
Beautiful m message arqios.
Andy
