My Front Porch

The front porch is my special place

Protected from the rain

Letting the sun’s rays warm my face

I love the fresh air

Chipmunks zooming about

Breezes are blowing my golden hair

The kids next door are loud

The smell of cut grass tickles my nose

Shadows emerge under dark clouds

Birds sing and fly up the maple tree

An Amazon man delivers a box

I watch a furry rabbit run free

Mom’s car is gone for the day

A big truck picks up our trash

White lilacs have blown away

Humans and their dogs walk by

My dad says hello

I bark goodbye

Must go inside now

First, a pee on the tree

I’ll sleep till it’s time for chow
