A TALE OF A TAIL

I call this an "accidental poem" and this is for our dog, Ressureccion. One afternoon I found her lying under a tree and it made me think of what she feels. I thought that maybe it is  because she misses her puppies who were given away to my friends in another city. I saw her and I felt the necessity to write down what I think her emotions are.

A TALE OF A TAIL

She watched as the visitor came

And greeted everyone with “Good day!”

Glanced at her and said she looks gay

But deep inside she’s in despair

 

A silent, warm tug on her side

Came from her love that calmly lies

They sniffed her smell and faintly cried

As they’re taken away from her life

 

She had rose while they walk away

Out of the yard and shut the day

With sights of them that heed the way

Miles from her—oh! How alone and pained

 

Now no more pups to make her gay

No more little paws to make her play

Gloomy sometimes, a dog’s life may

Alone with a chain, still she lays…
