Emilia James Poet Footle

Dog-Tired

Walk dog 
In fog

Can't see
Bump tree

Fell down
Face frown

Sore head
Cut bled

Now lost
Bit cross 

In pain
Slow gain

Came rain 
More bane

Wet through
Cold blue

Mud slip
Pulled hip 

Found path
Mad laugh

Walk more
Still sore

Long roam
Got home

Deep sighed 
Dog-tired

Red wine
All mine

James Inman November 7, 2020 at 5:33 PM I don't know whether to laugh or cry with you Emilia. Nicely done. Emilia James November 9, 2020 at 3:59 AM Thank you James, Either or both is fine, I cry and/or laugh at myself often as I do tend to get myself in quiet a few predicaments lol, Emilia : )
