When all of a sudden the dogs began fighting.

They knocked something over and made such a clamor
I jumped from my desk and yelled out, "Tod Gammer!"

I ran to the kitchen and stepped on a bone
Landed hard on my butt and broke my cell phone!

The dogs came a runnin' as if in a race, and
Before I could get up, were licking my face.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
