a dog sits waiting
in the hot midday sun
too faithful to leave
too frightened to run

he???s been there for days now
with nothing to do
but sit by the road
just waiting for you

he can???t understand
why you left him that day
he thought you were stopping
to take him to play

he???s sure you???ll come back
and that???s why he stays
how long can he suffer?
how many more days?

his legs have grown weak
his throat???s parched and dry
he???s sick now from hunger
he falls with a sigh

he lays down his head
and closes his eyes
i wish you could see
how a waiting dog dies

PLEASE TREAT ANIMALS KINDLY

  • monkeygurl03 0 monkeygurl03It's so sad!!! but a good poem!
  • bookworms4god 0 bookworms4godBeautiful, and so true. As an animal lover and someone who has taken in more than a few strays, I can't understand how anyone can just leave an animal.

  • johnnybgoode 0 johnnybgoodeah man you real like making yourself look stupid don't you VioletSke10? lmao big time just a shame your spelling hasn't improved since you sent me that incredibly stupid mm - repeat after me A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z - learn the letters and then have the brain capacity to write them in the correct order of whichever word you are trying to write and hey before you know it you'll be able to spell - how cool is that? i guess it's only a pity that you don't have that brain capacity FOOTNOTE: i don't like posting on my own blog and i don't like speaking bad of other players but on this occasion i'm going ahead simply because i'm feeling pretty sad - i'm a fair and honest guy but apparently i'm a jerk - why? because i rejected a trade offer of 2 worms and 3k on a male certificate! i don't know whether to laugh or cry - can i do both lmao: i'm also pretty disillusioned that crap like this had to appear on a blog that is real special to me but hey what can i say? thank you so much VioletSke10!

  • creatureluver 15 creatureluverMy sweet cat was a stray, as was my friends dog and cat, and another friends dog. I adore animals, and although that poem was sad, it was original and very good.
  • Hariyn 0 HariynThe faithfulness animals show the humans who initially treat them with kindness is incredible. This poem shows just how fickle humans really are. I love it. "To err is human; to forgive, canine."
  • Hariyn 0 HariynVioletSke10- you'll probably never read this, but I'm not going to let that bother me right about now. johnnybgoode, if you take the time to read the Blog you are posting on, is clearly someone with a sense of something human, and something a lot deeper than whatever you feel, and by calling him a jerk, all you are doing is making yourself look idiotic and infantile, which you undoubtedly are. .
  • comet114 0 comet114how sad.... I would always give food to strays and if they are injured i usually take them a bath and take them until they are good then to adoption shelter
  • Katerz 0 KaterzThats sad. Poor doggy

  • kittykittydaisy 0 kittykittydaisySO SAD.A DOG IS SO LOYAL TO SEE ITS OWNER BUT IT GOT NEGLECTED
  • emiliapierson 15 emiliapiersonAww.. I can SO imagine this.. I find it majorly hard to read things like this. How could someone abandon a dog???
  • Cloud9Baby 0 Cloud9BabyI work at an animal shelter and we get dogs in terrible conditions that suffer and wait for their master. I've picked up at least 8 stray dogs who wait for their owner. It's very sad but then we nurture them back to health and put them up for adoption so they can be happy with a new owner.
