THE FATE OF A STRAY -Poetry

Updated: Apr 11, 2023




Against my skin the fur

Smooth to my touch.

Inside a park

The lone dog searches for a friend.

Moving across the lawn

Eerie shadows heighten the senses.

A wining escapes the canine

No longer wanting to be alone.

Protruding his bones

Suggest hunger and neglect.

Searching for love

The dog’s eyes peer from sunken sockets.

Unable to take him home with me

Having a landlord who hates animals.

What is this creature’s fate

-To die on the street or in a shelter?
