Walking The Dog

Included within "I Walk Naked into a Cloud" Publishamerica. 2010 ISBN: 978-1-4489-7989-9

A grey day -

Sure, a fine soft morning -

wet on the wind with rippling circles

that dimple the overnight puddles.

Misty rain lacquers the fallen leaves

to glow under sodium light

and washes asphalt paths

to tarry blackness.

The waking city stirs.

The early cars rush by,

anxious to head the traffic jams,

before the parking place is filled;

while little dog sniffs among the leaves

and praises God by being.

This may be one of my favorites by you. Every word is just perfect.

A beautiful poem from a man with beautiful and powerful mind.....
So very nicely written..... Everything just tends to fall in place in your poem....
The ending was the cherry on the top..... Wonderful really!

Awwww! Reading the explained details of the poem of the day, makes the image very realistic and it feels very homelike, very true.
