A Poet's Corner featuring poetry and art by Patricia Walter
Paricia Walter and Peanut

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 I developed A Poet’s Corner to feature all my work.  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.

Life Poetry

,Happiness Poem by Patricia Walter
Celebrate Celebrate a new life each and every day put the past behind you clear your mind, make way. There are lessons to learn memories to hold the future waits beckoning so bold. To stand in one place not dealing with fear life goes stale nothing to cheer. Start each day open heart, open mind. Make life a challenge not just a grind. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2000 ©

Nature Poetry

The Garden A rainbow of color Sweetness in the air softness to the touch Joy to the soul Light to the spirit Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 1999 ©
Spring Tired winter eyes look out and see a tinge of green – trees still lean. A patch of growth in a sunny spot clutched together – almost a knot. Buds on trees – tight with strain waiting for sun, a little rain. Daffodils blooming – yellow bright bulbs sprouting – wanting more light. Nature renewing – a gift to all just a late winter wake up call. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2002 ©
The Pines at Night The pines at night stand bold and firm, strong in the mist of moonlight Nature’s tribute to God and gift to man A forever reminder of God’s promise for growth and renewal An Eternal symbol of comfort and love Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 1998 ©

Dog Poetry

A Dog’s Business That is the business of being dog – to bark, to get dirty feet, to give sloppy kisses. To always be there at your feet in your bed, by your side. In the car, in the park, in your heart. That is the business of being dog – a companion, a friend one who thinks you and your alone are the center of their universe.

Animal Poetry

Are The Animals Lost in a Mist Are the animals lost in a mist a great mist of ignorance and power? Has man’s great lust for money and wealth blinded him from life on the earth? Life given by god to be cherished and loved the gift to grow and be free. Many were here before man lost his way sole tenants of Nature’s great earth. Man builds and he plants, talking all in his reach no concern for those in his way. Not really caring who’s discarded or lost it’s just man’s cold, hard way. Not approved by our God nor the animals on earth man is far too greedy and harsh. Why can’t man learn from the animals their Rules for Coexistence in Life? Is caring and sharing so foreign to man has his heart turned cold and closed? If he opens his heart to God’s loving ways the veil of his ignorance will life. He will love again, be kind and share see the animals come out of the mist. Poetry and Art by Patricia Walter 1998 ©

Friends Poetry

A Friend Will Care Poetry by Patricia Walter
Hello Just wanted to say hello – I’m fine been thinking about you you’re on my mind. Wanted to share a little time even though it’s only on line. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2002 ©
What Are Friends For? What are friends for? To laugh with To giggle with to share your little corner of the world with. The joy to visit over lunch, over tea to share little secrets discuss life’s problems. The freedom, the closeness the bond of friendship. Open hearts, open minds just kind sharing. That’s what friends are for! Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 1999 ©

Fun Poetry

The Band Some play trumpet, some play saxophone, there are those in back, that stand alone. There are wooden clarinets and shiny flutes, oboes and bassoons, with some different toots. Those in the back, roll on the snares, sometimes they’re loud and get lots of stares. There are brass trombones with big long slides, they ump and pa, with long slow glides. They’re heavy and curved, those great big basses, never in a hurry, couldn’t go to the races. Last, but not least, someone leads the band, starts and stops with only a hand. An unusual collection of instruments and drums, makes wonderful music that everyone hums. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2000 ©
Dirty Clothes The clothes basket’s full again you wonder if you’ll ever win. You wash and dry, fold and stack before you know it, the clothes are back. Were do they go to get such dirt those jeans and socks, the old plaid shirt? The grime and grease, grass stains galore you wash and dry, but there’s always more. There’s magic in those dirty clothes keep filling the basket – don’t smell like a rose! Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2000 ©

Kids Poetry

Wally, The Walrus My name is Wally the Walrus I have never ridden on a crowded school bus. I float around on chunks of ice because I think it feels really nice. Sometimes I sit on cold, gray rocks but I have no need for thick wool socks. My tusks are long – big and white I always brush them every night. I am proud on my tusks and how they look I think I’ll have my picture took! Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 1999 ©
Penguins Penguins are half black and penguins are half white there’s nothing about them that would cause a fright. It looks pretty nifty to be fifty-fifty! They make us laugh, they make us giggle it must be the way they seem to wiggle. They swim in the water, they waddle on ice they really seem to be very nice! Next time you see a penguin with orange feet tell him you know that he’s really neat! Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 1999 ©

Love Poetry

The Joy of Love Love and devotion are one as the earth and sky are one. Neither exists without the other. May you be blessed with the infinite joy from such a love. Original Poetry & Painting by Patricia Walter 1999©
Love Never Dies Love never dies, it just gets put aside blurred by years of life. It lives so quiet and deep in your heart waiting for time, waiting for caring waiting to renew passion and joy. Love needs to be embraced love needs to shout love needs to hear whispers of caring. Love never dies it’s a patient tenant of heart and soul. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 1999 ©

Spiritual Poetry

A Lifeline of Hope Sometimes our lives seem to hang by a thread frayed and ready to break. Our troubles are weights, almost too great to bear they pull us from family and friends. But a lifeline of hope will support our fears faith will remove our doubts. We begin to connect and find the solutions the thread becomes a highway to life. Hope entwines with support and love as problems are slowly embraced. Insight and courage become our friends they walk at our side as life moves on. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 1999 ©
