Robot was programmed
to play fetch with dog.
Dog, unaware that it was code,
built a friendship with Robot.

Dog was taught to always
reciprocate kindness with kisses.
Robot, unaware that it was trained,
grew to love the unruly Dog.

Together, they went on walks,
and Robot gave Dog pets.
Dog waited for Robot to charge;
Robot waited for Dog to wake.

Neither judged the other for
not being what they were not.
Robot and Dog were the best
friends a machine and dog could be.

Losing Beauty

(Poem 248 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

Beauty & Aiko in all their regal gorgeousness. They know they rule the kingdom.

To be without Beauty
feels plain and bare,
lacking in something.
A presence at once
regal and understated
has gone missing, and
in its place is an ache,
a pang, maybe a twinge
of listless longing for
some undefined touch
of elegance that is both
gracious and aloof,
familiar and unknowable.
