Lucky Guy -- a Poem for dVerse Poetics

Look under the bridge

Can see Sydney's underpants

Not unlike Paris 

 _ _ _  

As I went under the bridge 

My mind began to wander 

Away from the tourist sights 

Remembering childhood day  

Bridges where I used to play 

Down at  the creek on our farm 

Over on the graveled road 

Under that bridge where I played 

Followed creek through the fence 

Duke and I sat on the bank 

Throwing rocks into the stream 

Duke was taking a short nap 

Sleeping dog reminded me 

I's thinking how it would be 

To be homeless here except 

My bed, blanket and a dog 

I'm the lucky veteran 

There's so many have no home
