In the Shadow of the Mountain

In the Shadow of the Mountain

I live at the foot of the snow-covered mountain.

When I rise in the morning and gaze at the valley below,

My eyes see the frost covered grass at my feet.

I breathe in the crisp cold clean smelling air.

As it escapes my shrinking lungs, 

I see the warm mist expand into the air.

I turn and look at the mountain behind me.

Looking at it, I start to get excited and think,

Maybe we will go for a walk upon it today.

Reluctantly, and slowly I approach the door.

I know warmth awaits me inside,

When I reach the door, I let out a loud bark saying, let me in.

Author's Note

I know there are grammar issues, when translating for the creature in this writing she told me, " I have no patience for correct grammar. Oh, excuse me I see a squirrel."

This one made me smile. I have always wanted to write something from the point of view of a dog, but I just never get the inspiration. This perfectly describes how a dog would think in my opinion. I have to admit though, as much as the poem made me smile, your note made me smile even more. =)

Good, I am glad you enjoyed it. I love being able to write poems in all aspects of life, love, sex, science, philosophy, metaphysics and so on. As the saying goes,"Jack of all trades, master of none."

Well, I believe you are a master of at least poetry and story telling.
