Hello my Italian friend. I looked on your portfolio and found you had posted this one for the contest. Your signature is writing about animals. I wish you good luck on this well-written piece.

Your poem captures the life of Beau so well. I really appreciate the way you brought his dreams and ambitions to life. The difference between his hopes and the sudden brutality of his end is powerful! It's so thought provoking. Well done! Keep up the great work!

    Glad Beau’s story appealed to you.

    I love watching those National Geographic documentaries where we follow the day to day life of certain animal families.

    The members are given names and viewers get engaged with their daily struggles and joys.

    I tried to do something similar with Beau.

In the first line reach should be reached
In line two of the final stanza watch should be watches.
I like the end and internal rhyme in this story poem. I uses the three words well. It also depicts how blood and guts give different reactions in different people.
Hope this did well in the prompt.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy your day.

    Thank you, I appreciate the helpful feedback. And the insightful review.

    I personally don’t see anything exciting in seeing prey killed especially by African wild dogs.

    You are most kindly welcome. I agree with you on watching animals get killed either by other animals or men.
    Keep writing and stay healthy.
    Have a good week.
