One of the most creative ways to celebrate May the Fourth be with you..

When your dog steals a bone from his buddy and tries to cover up all the evidence. In broad daylight!

We are raising a petty thief!

Hey Lucky, do you know you’re messing with a fire chief and a police officer’s dog?

Katie, I’ll rescue your bone and have it back to you this afternoon. I think Lucky misses you..😉🐶

Last minute, I decided to check out a poetry reading in town. There, I remembered what it feels like to be home again.

Thanks for the person sitting in front of me for making that message even clearer.

Some days the only light you can find is in nature.

Is it the dog day of summer in New York already??? Nope, it’s just fake summer.

Hopefully, we return to proper spring next week. Until then, tongues out…

Here’s a draft of a poem, with your vote to see if it’s done..let me know in the comments below. I will test it out on an audience tomorrow evening.

What Emily Asked

The flower doesn’t ask
the tree if it’s alive each spring

but we need each other
to see ourselves through.

Can you hear
what’s in me

buzzing, blooming,

might you show
might you say

do you have time,
is my verse alive?
