“A Litte Less Drama” was written for dVerse where Kim is asking us to write a quadrille using the word “fret.” If you’d like to join in, click here.
We’ve had an afternoon into evening of thunderstorms so the inspiration came naturally.

A Little Less Drama
Do not fret, little one
as storm clouds transform
afternoon to night.
You lean your furry face
upon me, comfort-seeking
liquid eyes imploring
as thunder resounds,
torrents tumult
much needed rain.
Your skeptical eyes ask:
Can rain not descend
with a little less drama?
Lovely poem. Those liquid eyes imploring….. I can see them well.
She’s a sweetheart, even with the thunder. 🙂
I love the look in his eyes. Goes so well with a well written poem.
Thank you. The storms made her nervous, but she felt better by staying close. 🙂
I love this poem. Truly you described your dog well.
Thank you. She’s only been with me since just after Thanksgiving, but I think we have entered the “relaxed” stages and happiness. 🙂
It’s obvious you care about this little darling with the words you used. So glad she has you to turn to for safety <3
She’s an absolute joy. Thank you! 🙂
She looks like it. You are welcome 🙂

I love the storm clouds transforming afternoon to night, Sascha, and the alliteration in ‘torrents tumult’ conveys the sound of a sudden downpour. I enjoy the drama!
Thank you, Kim. I enjoy the drama of a thunderstorm too; Sophie, not so much. 🙂
🙂
Eonderful gentle poem!
Thank you so much, Rob!
Beautiful poem, and those eyes……………who could not love that face and want to protect her from all things nasty?
Thank you. She’s been a wonderful companion so far. 🙂

This brought back memories with some of my dog. Beautiful pup with such soulful eyes.
Thank you. 🙂

SMiLes.. Thanks!!..✌️😁
I know just how this is. Nicely done.
Thank you. 🙂
You had me smiling there… lovely eyes to ask such a question.
Thanks, Bjorn. She is a one of a kind, for sure.
It is nice when a poem opens up another entities inner world a bit, to see the storm as the puppy does
Thank you, Lona. Having pups has opened my world up in many significant ways because I pay attention to what they pay attention to, which can be illuminating. 🙂
