My master
In his tact tied
Astute tricks
As an alchemist
Enacted
Enchanting
Enslaving me
My master
Ringed me
Caged me
Often fidgeted
With my softness
Tempted
Teased me
Tamed to his tunes
I leapt
Danced
Licked his feet
Let myself fondled
Jumped up
Ran in and out
To and fro
Grabbing
Every bit he threw
Wagged my tail of Admittance Sniffed all the odors of obedience
Just only for him
For my master
My ears sharpened
My eyes cared
Smelled the dangers
With bare dried throat
Barked every foe away
Yet
As an awkward being
Every instant I deign
He nudges me
Prods me
Pokes and
Shoves me
And
I wouldn’t out dare
Vituperated I retire
Retreat into
An austere alcove …
A very astute and insightful work with a hint of sardonic humour .
