Day 7.

Wednesday 7th May

Sorry, no walk today.


The dog lead hangs inside the door,

A coiled anticipation, stilled,

No paws will pad across the floor,

No eager joy, no senses thrilled.


A clumsy stumble, sharp and fast,

My skull met something built to last,

A crimson bloom, a sudden fear,

Todays promised walk has disappeared.


A bumped and bruised and aching head,

Has grounded me, i look sorry sight,

The park, the path, the world instead,

Must carry on, without my plight.


So we'll rest our feet and our paws,

Tomorrow's adventure,nearer it draws,

Headache subsides, and wounds will mend,

And our trusty walk, it is just around the bend.
