Monday Motivations
When I’m struggling to come up with an idea for a short story or poem, I’ll often have a look around me (at a newspaper, out the window, around the house) and find random words to add into the story.

I was filled with grief
When I discovered the poor dog
Lying outside in the mud, rain pouring down
an empty jug where the dog was chained.
Sacred being, how could they defile you in this manner?
How could they forget that you needed love the same as everyone?
How could they simply treat you as if you were no more than a rock.
I wanted to go and bang on their windows until they came outside,
But instead,

And loved you every single day
Through the last day of your life.
You are sacred, you are loved
Forever.
