Whim vs Will

whim is a dog!

like any well trained heel
just mention his name
he's at your side
...and dancy

ready to perform
any, and all
his few simple tricks
of your fancy


WILL!

Wow!
now, that's another story!

she's the "Cat"

independent
elusive
finicky
and exclusive

slinking in
for a bit or two 
she retains the reins
and epilogue to

its her way
and always her way

and most certainly not
...the way of the dog

There is a poem here by another member called fate vs will by diatom shells ... your title drew my attention ... and made me think of hers ... this is a really good poem the theme is consistant ... but I keep getting the feeling that theres more to this poem than meets the eye will watch out for more from you Kind regards Jayne-Chloe (Quote~~"It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree. "--Charles Baudelaire)
