Sound of Connection
By Rhys Larsen
The scared puppy
in the rain
started to cry.
A boy’s whistle
A puppy’s whine
“I hear you. Where are you?”
Around the corner
In the park
Tied to a trash can
A clinking sound
Clink clank
Clink clank
The falling rain
Drip drop
Drip drop
A little yelp from the wet pup
the young boy’s voice,
A soft tone,
made the puppy happy.
Reaching out to untangle the chain
Going home
