Tanka: Magic Mountain

two whippets in maroon jackets on a steep mountain trail
two whippets in jackets at a fork on the mountain trail

steep trails
my right shoe leans
against the left
there is another world
behind the smiling fairy

  1. Lovely poem and I want to see the fairies! Pearl and Eivor are looking “fairies? Where are they?” There is another world we can’t see! ADORABLE! Have a wonderful Thursday. ❤️🥰

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Vicky 💜 It’s lovely to see how easily they revert back to their natural instincts when we’re out on the trails. Hope all is well with you and much love to you and Tippy from all of us here 🤗💖🐕 xxx
