The Poet Sky

When I was asked to care for you I didn't think I'd be able to I had a lot going on But I still couldn't say no

You were excited or sleeping There was no in between Even when your energy was too much I still couldn't say no

For the innumerable times when you were there Exactly when I needed a friend Cuddling me when I was sad or sick I'm so glad I said yes

Even though you're gone And there's a hole in my life I look back on our time with love and joy Forever grateful that I said yes

As some of you are aware, my dog Jai (rhymes with Sky) passed away on Halloween. Saying he was an important part of my life doesn't begin to describe him, so I wanted to post about him here.

It’s easy to run away It’s hard to stand up and speak Finding shelter feels safer Even when it makes you feel weak

We're told all our life That the rain is miserable and dreary That no one really loves her Of her, we're supposed to be weary

You made a friend You grew close together Spending so much time living your lives with one another

Denali Siriesco will be performing live at Junction 361 in Fairport on November 3rd from 7-9pm. I will be opening for her with some of my poetry! I hope you all get a chance to come by for a lovely time!

Update: I'm not able to make it, but I hope you all go and see Denali perform!

I know you're beautiful even though you don't believe it

I know you're worth it even when you don't feel like it

When you make a choice some people may disagree others may not understand even the people you love

When you love something give it your all Don't hold back until you're satisfied

It’s hard to be you to be honest, be true when people want you to change when they only see you as strange
