A long tired stretch
The dog reaches forward
Arching
Aching
Willing the cold to leave its body
He’s not rushing
I don’t think he can these days
A long life
On these streets
Bits of burger and mashed up bread
Enough for one
A meal at least for today
Maybe later something will come my way
Inspired by NaPoWriMo challenge for April 2015 – Day 26 “Now for our prompt. Our last two prompts have been squarely in the silly zone – this one should give some scope to both the serious-minded and the silly among you. Today, I challenge you to write a persona poem – a poem in the voice of someone else. Your persona could be a mythological or fictional character, a historical figure, or even an inanimate object.”
