Coffee with Roo and Emmy
Poems

Waking with Grizzy

This poem was inspired by Grizzy 7 years ago when we lived at Lock Lane. I was reminded of it after waking with Roo and Emmy this morning after playing 18 holes yesterday with Jim Cannon.

Waking with Grizzy 4.27.13

The blinds create an amber glow
As the first light peaks through
The dog on the floor breathes heavily
Creating the occasional snore
 
It comforts me to have her near
I stretch my legs under the covers
Shrugging off the stiffness
From walking 18 holes
 
It is a wholesome soreness
The kind you get as a child
The morning after a day of fun
And I am content
