His eyes know
More than words can say
He sees body language.
Actions, ideas
Words cannot convey.
A subtle glint
In his eye
Beckons and begs
“please ,
come closer.”
You see the cry
Before the sound.
Brown eyes
Melting your heart
Sobs of a hound.

Thanks for reading :) Inspired by all the dogs I have been seeing lately. Specifically the ones that want the food I am eating!

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

I am a sucker, for those eyes. ha ha
This was a great read. Reminds me of my labrador! Always such a sad face ready to guilt me into giving up my dinner!!
Great job on your poem, Meg! Your use of imagery is quite impressive. The way you have described the hound's eyes and its emotions through them is very moving. You have also managed to capture the reader's attention and evoke empathy towards the hound's plight. Keep up the fantastic work!
Nice❤️
