The Dog bared its fangs in vain, A desperate try to drive away, The beleaguering Lamb that trailed behind, Seeking warmth within its light.
The Sheep sang a gentle tune, In bleats that sought to welcome in, The distant Pup that mourned alone, Born of tempests, weighed by woe.
written 28/03/25 I like exploring misunderstandings between characters. Dog thinks the Sheep is a lamb trying to hurt him. Sheep thinks the Dog is a hurt and scared puppy. They're both right. The Sheep is annoying, and the Dog has been hurt. But they misunderstand each others intentions: Dog is not hurt, he is angry, Sheep is not annoying, he is kind.
