howling winds
closing all the shutters
terrified pup
© Rachel Green February 2026
shutters locked tight
allow a glimmer of daylight
the cat careens across the floor
chasing a dried and empty tea bag;
more Lady Orange than Lady Grey.
The Handsome Old Dude snores softly
while the young pup wanders
claws clicking across the floorboards
anxious and upset.
Rain spatters on skylights
shy lights
hidden from the sun.
awake, mon amours, awake
for I do love thee dearly.
