Feral

stray dog ignores
a gift of bread
pigeons do not



red or green?
feral dog waits
until humans walk



street dog trots
on a spring morning
rat in mouth


In a list

I'm not making this stuff up!

    Oh my gosh! Margaret the imagery is so vivid. I am a mixture of emotions reading these haiku. It's sad and worrisome when dogs roam the streets hungry and uncared for.

    The second one is so interesting, that the feral dog knew to walk with the humans. These make the best haiku, when you write from daily observations. This are rally good, Margaret!

      Thanks Susie, I'm glad you found this interesting too. I was pretty surprised to see the dog acting so cleverly.

    I find the second one especially interesting - I guess I have not ever lived in cities where dogs run wild. Surprising observation. Even the first one - how can they afford to be choosy? Just wary of people?

      I was out doing a little shopping today and I observed this one dog waiting at the traffic light and looking at the people. A man threw a bun to the dog, but he walked around it and the pigeons made a feast. Then the light changed and the dog crossed with the crowd. Go figure!
      DeeCrepit (on another page) says that dogs do not eat bread - does yours?
