Shingles

Dog Days Portraits & Tankas

Breezy

This dog's perfect day:

summit Cadillac Mountain

race up granite trails

lap rain water from a tarn

reign triumphant at the top

Sleeping Simon

This dog's perfect day:

take the ferry to Schoodic

fetch sticks from the sea

catch the last boat back again

her foot softening my dreams

Shingles

This dog's perfect day:

take it slow and oh so easy

Adirondack style

don't get your tail in a twist

sit still and savor summer

Sadie

This dog's perfect day:

find a long and sandy shore

herd the breaking waves

harry seagulls; harass crows

organize the elements

PenPets Goes Literary

This month's issue of Wife of Bath features a PenPets portrait on the cover, two more portraits inside, and a tanka poem.

Wife of Bath is one of Maine's newest literary magazines, just three issues old. It's edited and published by Raye Tibbetts of Bath, Maine. This month's theme is "Dog Days," the perfect venue for my work. It's chock full of lots of good doggy stuff.

If you'd like to order a copy of this issue ($5) or a yearly subscription ($25), please contact Raye at editor@wifeofbath.net or send her a check at 100 Front Street, Suite 31, Bath, ME 04530.
