“Hi guys. My name is Frankie”, is in AnoMaly Street, Volume 3, no. 1



My selected entry from page 37 of the anthology…




Hi guys. My name is Frankie 

I’m a furry Cavoodle 
The owner of Ivor 
You may know him 
He pretends to be a poet 

I let him stay at my house 
And even allow him to sleep on my bed 
He’s bald, so he doesn’t shed hair 

Yes, I know  
That’s generous and kind of me 
Having said that 
In a disorganized manner
 

“I do not own much 
I do not owe much 
I share what I have 
I have hope and love” ** 

My home is his home  
If he takes me for walkies  
Three times a day 
 
 
 
** I borrowed these lines from Ivor’s poem, ‘I, Can Breathe’
