Topic: write a poem about dogs and fairies, in that order
Form: any
Line Requirement: any
We trained the dogs to catch and fetch our kill
And moved to where we'd hunt and have our fill
But everything in life was ours until
The things we couldn't see became too real
What exactly is the cost per meal
You'd think the fish and insects couldn't feel
Or chopping down a tree considered steal
ing, but then again what if spirits will
Seek out vengeance for the trees that fell
And make your puppies disappear and yell
Until your wife goes mad under a spell
And drown herself, turn my life into hell.
The legends say the fairies live there still,
Spurned, burned, yearning to reheal.
