What Do You See?

Creative project for my teaching reading class Our section was on poetry so we had to do something creative with it...

I used my own poem, to read the full poem please go here: Release
Do you see
a monster
when you look in my eyes?

Do you see a devil
in disguise?

Is there not a heart
beating in my chest?

Will your fear ever
be lain to rest?

Are there any
among us
you can trust?

Or will fear
forever
make us a disgust.

Will you hold me
to every wrong

or will you someday
see the right?

I am not a dog
who loves to fight -

I am a dog
who is no different,

I want love and compassion,
to provide you full
dedication.

I envy those breeds
for which every man loves
without restriction.

I am left in shelters,
a happy dog, still,
and I am forgotten
your hate leaving me ill

in the minds of others
who loo

Poem is a little old, but the first bit of it I still really like so I decided to use it for my project All photos are mine as well, and they are all wonderful shelter dogs Or were shelter dogs, they have all been adopted.

(and I have no idea where this was supposed to be submitted under...)
