Pre-Dawn
Pre-Dawn
Dog woke me at five
standing nearby
peeping to go out
Early morning slog
find glasses, shoes, coat
it’s chilly out there
Leash means business
not play She squats
her palpable relief
Back inside she heads
straight to bed circles
flops, curls, moans
a bundle
of paws and tail
but I lie awake
absorbed in worry—
not a dog



My house too💛. Wonderful poem!
Enjoying your posts.
Happy Saturday 😊
