Dreaming Dog Days

Sleeping cavalier Draped in Blenheim silk Russet red reflecting Autumn’s fiery cloak Dozing, snoring softly Dreaming dog days. In his mind Orion’s Hound ignites the sky to Mark the changing season Autumn burns the wood From green to red to gold Summer’s over. Playful cavalier Tracking leaves and berries Falling to the touch of Autumn’s sweet enchantment Barking at the shadows Chasing moonbeams. Autumn stains the dawn with Hazy blue and crimson Noble cavalier Stretching, yawning softly Gently bouncing homeward Dreaming dog days.
