Unhappy Beach Dog’s Life

Free verse poetry

Photo by James. G. Brennan.

Beach dog, scared, starving,
Emaciated, too frightened to take
The food on offer.

Oh yeah a great companion
For those months spent
In time away from home at the beach.

Cruelty conveniently ignored
Burned up in the jet stream
By the animal lovers heartless devotion.

Leaving their shabby friend fending for themself
On an empty beach filed with no compassion to eat,
At least they have tiny crabs to feast upon.

Catch one if you can.
