    Winter's Child

    On that cold day my old dog shivered
    Above the blades of frozen grass
    Where Autumns final breath glistened
    Like fine crystal glass.

    Amidst the crimson and gold leaves she curled
    Her frail body onto the ground
    With snowflakes falling she left behind this world
    My dear pal, my faithful hound.

    The Sounds of romping pups and kitten mews
    Fell silent to the screaming blue jay
    Coloring crayons of one hundred hues
    Were boxed and then stored away.

    Returning home some two hundred seasons hence
    When crocus petals mingled with my tears
    I became the melting snow upon the fence
    In this, the springtime of my later years.

        Dade:

        We are not permitted to say thanks in less than 3 words. I have a comment for Mr. Spinhead; the second word ends with "you".

              I had a Golden Retriever for 14 yrs. his name was Sunny, and he was a great companion.
              Your poem reminded me of the comfort he brought to me and how much I miss him.
              Thank you, for your wonderful work.

                  Aaah, m'boy ... his beard's gettin' so grey.
                  We napped together, today, like puppies - his butt in my face & my arm across his back.

                      "Only pathetic misfits would take the time to neg each comment. I can only pity such lost souls."

                      I stand by that remark, though it appeared to offend you.

                      I will and have always admitted that I am less than perfect -- that I make mistakes, and have often openly admitted and apologized for them. Is it really my ego that you should be challenging?

                      You have a grudge (AG), but on a positive note I am glad you enjoyed the poem.

                      My dog gets scared of lighting storms. I tried explaining to her that its just the confluence of cold and warm air creating a static charge but she just looked at me like I'm crazy.
