Country Walk
Through ancient paths,
'cross hills sublime.
I trekked on fields so green.
Breathing in the country air,
I lived my rural dream.
To fill my lungs with fresh, clean air,
was what I sought to do.
I gazed upon the scenery,
that took my breath to view.
In sweetest, quiet reverie,
I walked alone the route.
'til suddenly the peace was broke,
by snarling, drooling brute.
With searing pain,
and blood soaked clothes,
from idyll I descend.
The fearsome dog has sunk its teeth,
deep into my rear end.

HI Malcom, Very good poem, felt like it could go on and on?! AS if I was reading a small part of a longer story. Great, loved it!
