Anjali's poem on her recent experience with Akela and co!
https://paruvuanjali.blogspot.com/2021/09/poetry-bitch-with-fur-of-golden-wheat.html
Young and fierce, the bitch lay
Looking amongst the bushes
Each rustle sending a chill in her spine
Of something wild and vicious
With fur of golden wheat
And eyes that captured the world
She had a growl of rumbling thunder
When a threat bound onward
Four little balls of flesh
Suckled unto her
Starving herself,
She had no respite
A human arrived one day
Stood far and stood
For hours until she got close to her
and finally her puppies had love
Now they had a home
With humans for lord's sake
They were one of the lucky ones
For they had friends after all
Her puppies grew big and playful
And jumped around the pots
And stole their way into the hearts
Of every human on the block
Yet there was always a fear
A Fear of something unknown
Until one day it came true
And into the dark went one young 'un
Another was injured
And the girl could not take it anymore
The pup stayed inside,
And all her dreams were realised
But she had to part too, with her other little sister
For the human family had to be preserved
Heart ache like never before
As she had never had to lose
Something so full of life and love
And she had never had to choose
The puppies now live in bliss
With loving owners on a farm
But the bitch with the fur of golden wheat
Who turned my life upside down
Will continue to persist
