There he was
at the end of
my footstool—
begging again.
I was nibbling
on the kids’
favorite snack,
those cheesy,
crispy goldfish
crackers.
His furry face
stared, black
eyes intent,
watching every
move I made.
His teeth bared
in a sloppy, Sheltie grin.

/ March 7, 2016i originally thought of my retriever’s grin for this prompt…but ended up fixating on a woman’s lipsticked lips instead:) I like the fishy snack and your furry beggar here.

Btw Hank located the Renga ‘game’ at the top left-hand corner and responded but late for a few days, though. For the next game, if ever there is one, Hank will know what to do. Thanks for the reminder, Ma’am!
