Heading out for a quick walk with the dog. The sun is slowly rising over suburban houses and scattered trees. A few dark clouds hover over horizon. The dog bounces through rising grass. My toes get wet from the morning dew. A few brave souls are also up. Some head off for work. Others merely walk their own dogs. I need a cup of coffee. The pot should be finished brewing when I return home. I encourage the dog to finish quickly.
Those morning doldrums
erased by slow rising sun
a new day at dawn
