Canis Lupus

(water color on paper)

Barking up a tree,

[hmmmmm]

How odd.

Even howl to the moon,

[sigh]

So rare.

Well done, and soon,

[yawn]

Curled nap.

While living in an apartment I sat waiting on the bottom steps, feet resting upon the floor of an entrance way tiled with faux shale.  Staring down I saw the tiles, green in color swirled with patterns including one that suggested a wild dog.  The tile pattern inspired the creation, first the image then the words.
