Arlene Phillips Poet Light Verse

I Walked My Dog

I walked my dog


I walked my dog to the woods today
of beech and oak and lime
he chased his ball , and chased the squirrels
we had such a wonderful time.


I walked my dog to the sea to-day
That looked toward distant lands
 He was ever so brave as he swam in the waves 
 then buried his ball in the sand.


I walked my dog to the fields to-day
 He sniffed the delights  in the grass
he chased his tail  , followed mysterious trails,
How was I to know, it wasn't to last.


I walked my dog to the Bridge to-day
with Rainbow hues in the sky
of red and green , purple and blue
and kissed my dog goodbye

Arlene Phillips July 21, 2019 at 1:27 PM Thank you all so much I will replyshortly, still trying to find my way around the site. But I just wanted to mention that I wrote this poem when I was out walking the day after I had to PTS my two collies of 15 yrs, Zak at 3 pm and Ruby at 10 am next morning.,eighteen months ago., I went through a very deep period which is reflected in my poems of the time . I now have a little rescue Bertie , which I have penned a poem of.
