Altars to the Gods (With better illustration)
I once saw
an altar built
to honor a God.
Which God I
do not know.
The day was overcast
and threatened rain.
The years and the
elements had wrecked
havoc on this altar.
A mouse scurried across
this crumbling stone.
A bird of
prey swooped down
and carried away
this small creature.
A sacrifice for a God?
A couple
of filthy
haggard dogs
came around
begging for
a handout.
In years
to come
will our altars
to our Gods
fare the same?

Your choice of visual layout, is yours. You might like to reconsider and make the lines longer - your choices are open!
Right, got that off me chest now down to the verse. Hum, (honour and wreaked) them there spellings is of US descent me thinks!
Overall I liked it. Certainly enough to read it and grumble like a good 'un! Do hope I've not been too cruel.
An enjoyable verse, so Ta much,
Nick.
