Stay Away From That Barking Couple (Senryu) Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

Stay Away From That Barking Couple (Senryu)

Rating: 5.0


I knew a couple
Who told me their dog story
Which was heart-broken.

They had a good dog
They gave dog to strange couple
In same neighborhood.

They gave dog for free
With only one simple wish
To see dog monthly.

Their dog was given
Strangers didn't keep promise
As they once agreed.

Former owner came
To see her favorite dog
But saw: "Not Welcome".

She was clearly told
She will be charged trespassing
If she comes again.

I gave them advice:
Stay away from that couple
They are barking dogs.

I love the poem, even though It is sad, and a real shame that some people really cannot be taken for their word...
