Black Mendilouche - Dog Walking

Eager exit out the door
collecting carrier bags from the floor.
Happy, hopeful, scents the air
leaving puddles everywhere.

Drop-kick tennis ball
bounces off a garden wall.
Scudding clouds whisper by
sinking sun in mellow sky.

Flip flap shoe schlaps
Fleet foot dog hops.
Wanders westwards, homeward bound.
Feeding frenzy, hungry hound.
