An Hour with Dachshunds and Keats
The first day of
autumn – surprisingly cool
In this almost
tropical latitude
So after a day of
working outside
I sat with Keats
before a brushy fire
As is my custom I
read his “Ode to Autumn”
With a tumbler of
– lemonade – to hand
While the little
fire sang its own kind of song
And the dachshunds
snuffled among the leaves
The first day of
autumn – surprisingly cool
And in her rising
the Evening Star blesses us
