Joyful Noise
by Brookie
I bark because of the birds
in the grass and above on the wires
and how they dance away
or fly and disappear
when I want to be close
I bark because of the people
and the dogs I can smell
going by on the street
and how they keep moving past
always do not stop and play
So I bark being so often
acquainted with disappointment
but also because of the sunshine
and my good food and my toys
and how much I feel all this joy
