I wrote my poem Dawg in response to Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #363, to write something inspired by this photo from kevin turcios.

Dawg

I am a beast
a wild bull dawg

I love to feast 
on sausage 
and titbit bones

in sunshine
rain 
or fawg

I’ll slaver
whenever I see a water fountain
or ice cream cones

my face transforms into a dream
into a picture—
a nightmare—

just like
Edvard Munch’s
SCREAM!
