Walking The Dog

Walking The Dog

A Poem by Chris G. Vaillancourt
"

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.

we rush around from morning to night trying to fit everything in to our one day, not taking time to appreciate the wonders in front of our very eyes...and the poor wee dog is so very grateful for a simple wee walk and sniff...
lovely...thanks

lips ??

Boy those lips look familiar...I used the same picture, not long ago in Confliction...It doesn't show it here but the site I found it, had a tear cascading from the eye within..
Very vivid and descriptive write, Chris
but I'm conflicted on how the lips fit...

i like the simple observation here. sometimes the grey days can be the most beautiful, and watching the city wake is always a unique experience. It was a pleasure to read
