Tanka: Wide New World

a black whippet and a blue and white whippet sniffing marram grass in the dunes
a smiling black whippet walking across a shingle beach

our dogs’ world
once small, now widening
beneath their paws
deep sand and smooth stones
blessed by last night’s moon

with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx
