The Best Poem Of Michael Round

Today My Dog Was Put Down

Of all the dreams
I ever had in my life
I dreamed of my dog most of all.
Often she was lost
As many times in trouble.
Now after many years
Of walking through the woods,
Chasing her beloved ball
Carried there all the way
And brought home safely;
Now after the seasonal days
Of joyful running and a life;
A life so beautiful and full,
I signed the paper:
The warrant for her peaceful death.
And she is gone.
