Corgi's Lament

It was time for my walk in the garden

so, I looked for you everywhere

my leach, still hanging from its hook

in the silence, no one was there

just a quiet place, no laughter heard

no soft tones of your voice calling me

missing your gentle touch on my fur

where have you gone, have you left me?

I can smell your scent on the sofa

see your scarf and coat on the door

yet I still cannot find you anywhere

so, I'll sit and wait on the kitchen floor
