The Loyal Dog Winter Days

• Ashutosh Kunwar • • Sofie Pradhan •

Once there lived a man
With his dog and parents they were a family
Together they played
Together they slept and ate

The man and his dog shared a special bond
Of each other they were fond
Both were happy and joyous
One day something caused everything to go

The man came back from a party drunk nog-echt-winter
Calling others a punk and skunk
He went upstairs looking like a clown It was on a winter day
He slipped and went down The cold air was blowing
The man was freezing
His family was sad so was his dog But he was still going
Noone could speak a single dialogue
The dog sat in the man’s chair He wore nothing but a coat
knowing not what to do To go meet his love
He waited for years as if he was saying But when he reached there
I am always here for you He was shocked

Lying on her bed
She looked as good as dead
Her once green eyes
Had now turned red

It was time for her to go
She said her last words
Which was filled with sorrow
And then she was gone
