Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.

Hate to be a downer here but this is something I despise, people tooting their own horns about something good & wonderful they’ve done for others. I remember the lesson we were taught in catechism about how if someone is compelled to share with others their good deeds, well, then, THAT is your ‘reward’ for doing so. Much better, me thinks, to act out of kindness, love and charity for someone and keep that to yourself.

my neighbor lines the lower perimeter

of his wrought iron fence—

its western side aligns with our own backyard’s—

with twelve inches of chicken wire,

four hundred yards of the stuff

in order to allow his sister’s two puppies,

tiny Yorkshire terriers, to freely roam

and not slip through the vertical spires

when she comes to visit.

what we do for those we love,

what we do for our canine companions…
