Dog Days- #1/30

"It's just the most amazing thing to love a dog, isn't it?  John Grogan

Olive, Corgi, 8 weeks old, came home to live with my friend Val this weekend. 

I've been trying for several weeks to decide whether I was going to participate in April Poetry Month. I finally decided I am going to give it a try. My theme, I think, for this month, is "Dog Days." I'm going to try to write thirty-ish days of dog-related poems. Today's poem is a tanka (5 lines, 5 7 5 7 7).

"On Walking Through the Front Door"

those days when I scale 

the highest peaks, your tail wags

and those days when I have 

failed miserably and more

than once, your tail wags
