Poem-A-Day, April 2022, Day 10

Day 10, write a taste poem. Maybe it’s because I’m looking forward to summer and remember the joy with which Roy attacks the hose for a cold drink on a hot day. When it comes to happiness, dogs have it figured out. Keep it simple.

DOG FOUNTAIN

Hot August afternoon,

Nothing sweeter than

Water from the hose.
