A dog trots
down a dirt
path as sunflowers
part the way. He
is sorry for his
fellow compatriots
in the Ukraine. He
knows they are
afraid. This dog makes
a statement
with a sunflower looped
around his neck.
He hopes they know.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
I am glad so many dogs and other pets are evacuated. Terrible that one sick person can cause so much harm. He is on my same shelf that holds Nero and Hitler.

They do, Sara .. they do.

This dog tells me that Marxist murderers on command of Stalin inflicted Holodomor on his forebears.

“He is sorry for his fellow compatriots in the Ukraine.”
This is an effective way of making a statement, from a dog’s point-of-view.
