He believed it impossible-little did he know,
that courage flowed from her heart.
Each labored breath came,
huffing for air, jumping,
clearing a fence,
her chance at last.
Brown eyes glowing,
hope growing, fear abated.
Freedom awaited in daffodil field.
Her eyes closed in Heaven-a grassy hill.
Hopeful dreaming,flat clouds floating,
bringing healing.
Earthly cares fell behind.
Her time had come.
Canine beauty
found ecstasy in death.

This was a very moving poem! I think that people that abuse animals should go to jail and stay in there for life. beating animals is not cool I think that it is ignorant. This was a very sad poem. It made me feel even worse for the animals that get beat and there is nothing they can do but crawl up somewhere and wonder why! Thanks for entering my contest and best of luck!

Very powerful and unique write, thank you for entering!Sort of bittersweet..
The end was my favorite part.
I think you do have an extra space in line six, before the comma, but that's such a tiny thing. Excellent write!

Sad piece...
I feel this could be strengthened through a few stanza breaks, thus giving
the reader a break to absorb each image presented...
Thanks for the entry and good luck in the contest.
