BLIND DOG
I bought a porcelain dog
at a second hand store
Blind Willie stands and stares at me
with perpendicular eyes
he needs food
and a water bowl
I need love
and his bark
we stand frustrated

ha. if you can get porcelain to bark...it will surely be a miracle...or if he eats...smiles...sounds like unmet expectation to me...
I really like this! :)
Frustrating, indeed....but wow is this good.
(Ages ago I went on a date with a guy who had his favorite dog stuffed and sitting beside his sofa. I couldn't see him again after that!)
I like this. Perfect combination of desire and frustration and mystery.
I like it! good one- I had a porcelain horse as a child that I felt that way about!
Wonderfully different take. I like it.
well done - I like this very much, Wayne - what you say & what you don't say (& what the whole says to me)
I like your take on the frustration of both parties ~ Enjoyed this ~
I have enjoyed my visit here tremendously. Thank you.
Sometimes I wish some of my ornaments were real too...

When he barks, he'll be so happy, after being stifled in the shell of porcelain for so long, that he'll break.
Barks and love .... yep!!
I have seen several poems based on this portrait, but yours was the only one with a "pre-fab" dog. The idea of waiting for what can never logically come is part sad, part too funny. Waiting for it to bark? When it does, call a doctor!! Peace, Amy
