Excellent ...an Octogram My Book of Poems 2010-2017 : Summer Days by Mustang Patty

I take my dogs out for their walks, and Life's sure sweet, and Steaming, dewy green'ry stalks; Sunny rays beat. Hot pavement makes my dogs walk fast, Do 'doggy bus'ness' at the last. Heading home, we avoid the street, and Life's sure sweet.   the pastel lines of children's chalks, we see a treat, Above, the birds begin their squawks My dogs are beat. at home, the sweet cool water waits, and breakfast kibble's on the plates. Rumbly tummies just long to eat and Life's sure sweet. Recognized Author Notes photo from Freephoto.com Big THANK YOU to Debbie (dejohnsrld) for a great deal of help with iambic meter.
