Magpie Tales #276 Alone

Midsummer Night's Melancholy by Michael Sowa
 
Alone they wait
Patiently, hungrily and lonely
Neglected

  11. The very thought of hungry, abused humans and animals makes me sad and angry and feeling helpless to fix it. Can only hope my bit of assistance is replicated by thousands and thousands of others.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
