Kindness - title and topic (in free verse) A small dog whimpers in the cold. All he needs is some warmth – the warmth of your heart, a morsel of food, and a cuddle. A little cat lonely by your porch, gazes at you with sweet kitty eyes, meowing and meowing for a dish of food. Maybe she is lost and wanting a snuggle from a person whom she has gone missing from! We all feel miserable at times. Maybe we have fallen on hard times. Maybe we have simply had terrible day. Sometimes all we need are sympathetic words, a nice hot meal, and the gentle touch of a loved one’s hand. puppies and kitties and the kiddie inside us all - Sometimes we simply hunger For kindness. Kindness - title and topic (Rewritten as a quatern) Sometime kindness is all souls need. Think of a puppy wandering. Give him shelter; cuddle and feed this pup! It takes no pondering. Think of lost kitties at your door. Sometimes kindness is all souls need. With pitiful mews they implore that with comfort you pay them heed. Why are so many filled with greed? Destitute souls wander on streets. Sometimes kindness is all souls need - some warmth, some food, a bed with sheets. Reach out to someone who feels blue. Each day we can do a good deed. Sweet words alone might even do! Sometimes kindness is all souls need.

Your free verse is excellent. You conveyed the same ideas without rhyme. Well done. Best for a win. Hugs.
