Ode To You
You are who ever
 
 I am the writer
 
 You read what I write. 
 
 Do you hear my words?
 
 Each letter a different note,
 
 Turned in a symphony of noises.
 
 In a five-stanza poem I can make music. 
 
 Do you see what I'm writing?
 
 Can you see the dog wagging her long black tail
 
 Against the side of the computer and her nugget sized brown
 
 Eyes looking up at me, making your heart melt, giving her anything. 
 
 Her long hair reaching to the floor and endeared the dust mites collecting
 
 In it. Stubby, sinuous body reaching out and feeling every change in the air, soaking
 
 and processing it all into the movements of the room analyzing,
 
 Waiting for an attack from the cat. 
 
 My words flow from my open mind
 
 Onto this once blank ivory page
 
 The words appear black
 
 And they are.
