Welcome to A Poet’s Corner

A Poets Corner Posted on by

Previously The Six Dog Studio

The Six Dog Studio was my original website I developed in 1999. It featured many of my paintings and photos. Since then, I have written a large number of poems about animals, cats, dogs, friends, love, life and nature. So A Poets Corner was developed to feature all my work, both past and present.  I became an artist when I was fifty years old and painted about 450 paintings.  Each painting seemed to be telling me a story, so I started to write poetry about the paintings. I have a large collection of poetry and I hope you enjoy reading my poems.

My Old Sneakers by Patricia Walter

My Old Sneakers

My old sneakers look abused

that’s because they’ve really been used.

They’ve traveled are and traveled near

if you listen closely, many stories you’ll hear.

They’ve walked the roads, tracked thru grass

sometimes sloww and sometimes fast.

I’ll miss my friends when they’re thrown away

I hear them wish that they could stay.

The Christmas Lights

The Christmas Lights Poem by Patricia Walter

The Christmas Lights

The Christmas lights lay dark and dormant

Through rain, fog and snow.

Waiting for that spark to brighten their lives

Become a brilliant light show.

They’ve been strung with care

Every bulb tested and tightened

Cords stretched thru the yard

The night soon to be brightened.

The sun sets, the yard lights up

A beautiful sight, a thrill to the eyes

Warms our hearts, brightens our spirits

The Christmas gift no longer a surprise

October’s Incredible Clear Blue Skies

October's Clear Blue Skies

 

October’s Clear Blue Skies

October’s incredible clear blue skies

pleases our mind, a joy to our eyes

Gives us a lift from hot summer days

prepares us for winter – it’s cold, cold ways

A beautiful gift and memory too

as skies turn grey hiding the blue

Sitting in The Sun One Last Day

Sitting in the sun One Last Day by Patricia Walter 2019

Sitting in the Sun One Last Day

Sitting in the sun

one more day

maybe the last

November on its way

Beautiful blue skies

colorful leaves

one last day

in a warm gentle breeze

Sweet smelling leaves

buds still blooming

not really knowing

winter is looming

One last day

enjoying the fall

winter too close

not far at all

There Will Always Be A Sunrise

A Poets Corner Posted on by

There will always be a sunrise 2019

There Will Always Be A Sunrise

There will always be a sunrise

Although at times it is

Hidden by thick grey clouds

Obscured by wind and snow

Blocked by fog and mist

Invisible through sheets of rain

Out of sight but always there

There will always be a sunrise

Care for a Friend Dedicated to Shelter Dogs by Patricia Walter

Care for a Friend Dedicated to Shelter Dogs by Patricia Walter

Care For A Friend

Help care for a friend
find a home, help him mend.
Has a heart of gold
has to move – he’s told.
Find a place, a nice new home
where people care – he can roam.
His eyes are lonely, can’t you see
just wants love, somewhere to be.
Holds no grudges, has a happy heart
looking for a family, a brand new start.
Care for your friend, any way you can
a helping hand, a ride in a van.
Just a warm wish, tossed his way
may be all he needs to make his day.
