Over at Poetic Asides, we are asked to write a suffering poem about either person or animal.
Muffled Whimpers
By: Meena Rose
High noon in the desert;
Stopping for another errand,
You somehow forget your best
Friend, your life’s companion,
In the back seat – sweltering.
Long forgotten, you in your
Air conditioned haven never
Hear the muffled cries – barely
Audible muffled whimpers;
Paws feebly scratching at the
Window futilely trying to climb
Out of a furnace of man made
Design and man made negligence;
You then must understand why
I shattered the windshield.
Poet’s Note: The warmer weather is approaching. Please be mindful of those entrusted to your care – animals, children or the elderly – who are less tolerant of the heat.
