A Dog’s Day With A difference.

No Comments on A Dog’s Day With A difference.

The sight of dogs
causes a panic
I turn nervous
butterflies start flying
in my stomach.

Once,
I walked down the lane
a newborn pup
with half closed eyes
came behind me.

I hastened. He followed me.
At one place I slowed down.
He was trapped between my legs.
I jumped in fright. I trampled on him.
He whined.

I took to my heels.
A cyclist knocked me down.
The cars on either side honked
In the milieu, I bruised my leg
There was chaos.

Rubbing my knees, I walked ahead.
My friend’s house was nearby,
thought I could rest for a time.
So made my way to hers.
As I opened the door
a Labrador bounced on me.
I ran. I was palpitating.
The dog chased me
My friend,Tara, came out, called
“Tabby, come back”.
Tabby trotted panting.

Tara asked me to come in
I was in no mood to go back.
I walked homewards.

The Dog’s days are furious,
since they emit unbearable heat
I had an experience
worse.
A Dog’s day
with a difference.

The Strongest And Fittest.

No Comments on The Strongest And Fittest.

Many animals that were found
have left the scenario unnoticed
The braying of donkeys was a sound
heard most in the mornings
but now not heard any more.
The horses neigh in the early hours
but no such noise is found around.
Hearing a few barks of dogs now and then
as they still are held as pets
the unrestricted run of them in the roads
is found no more mostly.
That being with the dogs
the cats one or two still cross us
with a mew and mew in a demure.
Mouse and rats that brought with them
plague and hundred more diseases
have been constrained to the shopping areas
as the households have found means and ways
to eradicate them greatly and cleverly
With that the cows are the only left.
but they too are seen loitering in remote places
where human habitation has become rare.
The coexistence theory has long been sent home
as man has emerged the strongest and the fittest.

The Insects On The Way.

We find joy talking about
nature and its beauty
We spend time seeing its nuances
oceans, hills, valleys
and get blown away .
The breeze and tides
carry us away
while the birds colourful
take us along in a fly.
The animals that we daily see
cats and dogs
hold us in the fray
but not the insects
that we meet daily
keep us glued .
Why?I set to ponder
the caterpillar and the earthworm
do not make us wonder.
