Cultural Dissonance Poem (Bonus)
The dog
There came a flood
Pounding rains on my glass roof
So loud i couldn't sleep for fear it’d shatter
The rains came swiftly
A dog sleeping on a rock in the river
Was caught in the storm
People gathered on the bank
Made plans to get it out
As the river swelled
Rushed, roared
And the trees swayed
Yet they waded
Into rushing water
Arms linked
Heads bowed
To carry the dog home
