The year is over halfway through
The green leaves start to turn
The temperatures begin to drop
The days begin to lose their burn

Soon, the birds will take to flight
Start their south bound trip
The clocks all get set back an hour
The daylight starts to slip

Autumn time should be cherished
The cool winds start to blow
The last chance for some outdoor fun
Before we're under snow

Multicolored leaves break free
And from the trees they fall
Sit back, relax, and strive to grasp
The beauty of it all

A Dogs Life

Despite my clumsy I’ve found a new home
With what’s called people, in a kennel in a dome
They feed me and hug and I lick their face
There is a round thing they throw and I just have to chase…..

It’s been now 2 years since my rescue from hell
It wasn’t so bad but now I’m quite well
Lots of walks near the street round the houses in a loop
I no longer wet the carpet, it’s outside where I ****.

They tell me I’m 10 this year, It feels like so much more
I no longer feel like chasing, I feel like 74
They’ve made 3 new people since the day that I came
They poke, **** and pull - good thing that I‘m tame

My vision is gone, and my hips are quite worn
Love to those that loved me since I was born,
But years have caught up on this old furry fellow.
I hope when they think of me they’ll feel a bit mellow.
RIP Dog
