I needed to write, so here is an Etheree and a Tanka about enduring devotion.
I
See you
My baby
Such joy you bring
Me. I do not see
What other people do.
Beauty is only skin deep
Your devotion makes my heart leap.
You may not have too pretty a face.
Who needs beauty when you can have pure grace.
*****
And you my sweet dog
Always my best support.
Happy together
We have been made immortal
Still one, a beautiful thought.
A little tribute to Emily Carr her monkey Woo and her faithful dog Billy.
