Please have a voice for us.
We live in abandoned buildings
No food, no water, no love
Can you afford another mouth to feed?
We promise to be good
We'll even police your yard!
There are no warm blankets for us
Just the cold cement floor of this building
There are some of us who have suffered
at the hands of people who beat,
starved , even chained us
However, we survive
Take a moment to look into our eyes
Find us a home with children who like to play ball
Don't buy expensive pets
We promise to show you how loyal we are.
We plead through people like you
Who care, you are our voices
Look for us in your abandoned buildings or yards
We are looking for you.
There are many local shelters, or people who foster pets and promise to find them loving homes. This is just one of them -Rescue
If you can, rescue your next pet...

Thank you for your choice of topic :o)
ReplyDeletesmiles. thank you for this...there are so many animals that need a good home...and someone to love them...more than the ones that had them...
ReplyDeleteI already have a kitty and dog, and we live in a small apartment, so no room for any more pets. I really liked your poem and concern for them. May they all find good happy homes.
ReplyDeleteAll of our animals are rescues the dogs from human society and the cats well most of them have been feral that we adopted before the age of weening. This is an important statement you make I hope you get lots of hits on this!

Great point of view...
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you used the theme... :)
Beautiful poem...
Hello Everyone,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving a little note for me. Your words are very kind. I can see you are also sensitive to this issue about animals. Just for the record, I have dogs and cats. Oh. and I can make a list of animals we took in that no one else wanted. Luckily I have the room and in an area that I can do so.
Hopefully, someone will read this and do the right thing.
Thank you everyone.
Wysteria
Sniffle. Nicely read.
ReplyDeleteThis theme is getting broad poems of all different styles and messages. Good job.
ReplyDeleteAwww, poor dogs! I'm a cat person myself, but your plea and the expressions on those dogs' faces make me want to get a pet dog now (don't know if it's allowed in my apartment building though).
ReplyDeleteYour take on the theme is simply creative and inspired! :)
