My Poetry
Poetry should be remarkably relevant, a reflection of our community, our friends, our beliefs, our society and our souls. I believe you will find these poems speak to that ideal.

These poems range so far and wide that readers of all ages will find something to chuckle at, wonder about, or just plain shake their heads at.

My Neighborhood
David and Brenda Losole with The Writing Dog
Virtuoso Pizzeria
It's no accident the best people make the best pizza, which is why I go to Virtuoso Pizzeria. What great pies David and Brenda serve up! Pizza and poetry -- there's your combination. Here we are with my second volume of poetry, Poems for Pickin'. Be sure and stop in Virtuoso next time you're in Benson. And since you're reading this, you should also order Poems for Pickin'.
Tixteco Mexican Restaurant
Look at these two crazy kids, Eusebia and Constantino, who fell in love a long time ago and made a life together. They are such good people, so of course they make good food. They fill my bowl with rice and beans and I, The Writing Dog, eat there. Best chili relleños tacos in Omaha!
Check out TixtecoMexicanRestaurant, then go to 16th and Dorcas and get you a chili relleños. Tell them The Dog sent you, Arf, Arf!
Beercade 2
The Writing Dog with Ash!
Here I am at Beercade 2 on 13th Street in Omaha. Ash is a great friend and buys me a beer when I write a good poem. That's what I call making poetry pay! He's actually in two poems: on pages 8 and 9 in Poems for Pickin'! When in Omaha pop in for a cold one when you get thirsty and play a video game or pinball. They have a great crew!
