Scarlet
How can so much joy pour from the rivlets of rain soaking
Through my coat as I trudge through endless puddles of
Opportunity, my focus a tail that endlessly wags and back legs
That sideways wiggle in to my laughter and for every one step
Forward she zig zags her way pelting with enthusiasm, to search
Every thicket and bramble till adorned with leaves the tokens of
Thorough exploration, this total and utter bundle of joy ploughs
Into fences to find a way through, brings energy into the quietness
Of rain soaked green and like a favourite advert she diverts my mind
From absorbing Nature to hypnotic love of a waggy tail, and I dare to
Think that I play with her! Such knowing eyes tease my pathetic attempts
At authority and jaws stay firmly shut on the command of, ' drop!' or 'give!'
For she will allow me to think I am in charge.
Pockets filled to saturation and mentally I celebrate her madness the
Infectious energy, the hurtling into undergrowth and still that tail wags
And even when she rests in the back of the car with one eye watching
She knows she had me from the start!
