Wintry nights

pesky mosquitoes devour
precious balcony moments
reluctant puppies brought in
early winter dusk

warm broth to gladden tummies
spooned over in bowls of love
snuggled in our laps, they growl
chilly north winds blow

beds and quilts ready for night
cushions to play till sleep strikes
love overpowers tired bones
warmth around the hearth


Tanka Tuesday
