On Billy Collins' Poetry

Meowmi came across his poetry this evening and couldn't help but to share it.....

A Dog on his Master

As young as I look,
I am growing older faster than he,
seven to one
is the ratio they tend to say.

Whatever the number,
I will pass him one day
and take the lead
the way I do on our walks in the woods.

And if this ever manages
to cross his mind,
it would be the sweetest
shadow I have ever cast on snow or grass.

goodnight and sweet dreams!
