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

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!
The double meaning in your poem and the images you present stirs me. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day honey. Big hugs to you and tons of scritches to Miss Lucy. ♥♥♥
That is really sad.
ReplyDeleteSadly beautiful - and your second image, gosh, I see so many homeless people with dogs. They are so loyal to each other.
ReplyDeleteSo sad.. but still good when the animals and people meet

ReplyDeletePhysical hunger is bad, soul hunger is worse. Very poignant.
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought they are both war heroes ....
ReplyDeleteYes, waiting for his master!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteAh... they're not the only hungry ones!

ReplyDeleteExactly how I felt about it - but I spent a few more words saying so.....(as usual)!
