Peace, Perfect Peace?
A Rick Henry Christopher Peace on Earth Challenge
What a glorious morning!
Magnificent magpieās golden notesā¦ onto dawnās pristine canvas spill,
Whilst chattering, purple, Pale-headed Rosellas frolic.
A zephyr flaps my exhilarated Labrador, Hudsonās floppy ears
As he lollops down the hillā¦
Darting excitedly to greet his girlfriendā¦ a younger version of him.
Ahā¦ peace, perfect peace!
********************
Sunbeams softly kiss my cheekā¦
Alack and alasā¦ her heart throb is not everyoneās hero!
Dabbling Mallard Ducks serenely sail on byā¦ down the creek.
An unsociable Golden Lab growls grumpily and rates him a Zero!
Boxer dogās laser beam gaze locks onā¦
Full Alert, raring to pounce and give chaseā¦
Oblivious, Huddy ambles along, curiously inspecting a spooked ginger Tom
Their peace, perfect peace has gone!

Remembering the rink
If you were there, youāll never forget it. For decades, Durham Ice Rink was at the heart of the cityās social life. From Friday night ice discos to crowds roaring on the Wasps every Sunday, not to mention a proud history of figure skating and speed skating, the riverside rink was the place to be.

Sorry but Huddy is too adorable!
Woah! So nicely described. I loved the ending though.
I felt so calm at the end of the first stanza, and then the tension mounts again!
Oooo, do you know what is Hudson's girlfriend's name? Also, I've only ever heard of alas, not alack. Thank you for teaching me somethings new!
Omg the dogs are soo adorable it melts my heartš„¹š„° Lovely poem Angie!
