Revisiting Ol' Buster's Gone

The appalling news of "fishermen" using live dogs for shark bait needed a love story to compensate the heartache just the notion of anybody doing that dastardly act provoked.


Poem Artwork



To Jasmin and every dog lover.



Mommy??? come here!!!
ol’ Buster isn’t moving
and I don’t think
he is asleep!!!
please Mommy come here!

Oh! Mommy, did I do
something wrong,
or anything?
that he don’t want
to ever talk to me?

I will do that no more,
whatever you say I did,
so, can you wake’m up
tell him I am good
and he ain’t no sick?

Don’t look at me like that
shaking your head, please?
he can’t be…he can’t be…
if I tickle ol’ dog Buster
he will wake up you think?

What you say? that God
to watch the Paradise
a good dog is all He needs?
can’t have Buster at his side
that’s my dog, and not His?

God's watchdog over Paradise, what a concept. Very touching and nicely un-sad. Patrick

WOW Georg, it's like you crept into my childhood and wrote about how I felt when my first dog, Blackie, passed away in his sleep one night.

As far as those fishermen go someone should use them for bait.

Much Love,
Marcia

it's always harder on younger children to lose the family pet. Dogs should be able to live longer too. LadyJ

Think pets are angels. They love us unconditionally, comfort and protect us. Still remember the grief of my children when our dog died. Who is your best friend when you're a kid? Someone who would always listen and never betray your trust. So sad, but sweet Georg...Lin

A love a person has for their pet is often so special and when that pet passes it is a part of their heart passing as well. The article about using the dogs as shark bait angered me as well and sickened me that man could be so cruel as that.

Georg, I lost my beagle "Buster" four years ago. I was with him when we had to put him down. I held his limp body as his soul left it. I have never felt anything quite like that before..I felt his soul leave, and it was the most peaceful amazing feeling. I know he left in peace and is in a better place now.

I cannot tell you how much your poem touches me this morning.
Much peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

So heartbreaking when a child, or any of us, lose our best friend. More dogs I have known than people I have known truly deserve a place in Paradise.

Love this Georg. Shark bait...They used the wrong kind of "dog." Reminds me of my poem, "Buster." Sad, but touching!
