in the pouring rain
a shivering stray cat
hides in garbage

dans une averse
un chat égaré tremblant
se cache dans les ordures

a monster shoves
in the trash his bloodied dog 
an angel hears wail

This is one of the vilest instances of animal cruelty I have ever seen. The pig tied his severely injured 9 month old puppy in a plastic bag and tossed her in the garbage. Thank God the poor wee tyke was saved and love was showered on him. I strongly urge everyone to comment on this appalling act!

summer haiku d’été by Willie Bongcaron translated into French by Richard Vallance – cluttered mind = esprit emcombré

cluttered mind...
I miss the garbage truck
on its daily rounds

où est la benne à ordures
faisant le tour ?
