Gratitude

sorenbarrett

Bird's foot trapped, freeing him my hand he pecked
Pulling a thorn from paw of man's best friend my dog bit me
In the storm of fear there is no respect
Feather or tether, a child's rampage wishing to be free
A freed canary returns to its cage
A horse tethered since young will not wander
A tied dog's fear turned to rage
A freed dove, on captor's hand sits a moment to ponder

    Good write SB. Yes, KP could do with being grateful. I don't understand why she complains. I been very generous, giving her double helpings of sewage for her dinners these days. heehee.
