Nevermore

Black Dog by Nedic

Nevermore

His owner spoke
Leave my boots alone
The dog paid rapt attention
For this moment
the man was boss.

But he would sleep
abandon him to work
his boots out for the picking
and as evermore
the dog would grab one for company.

  2. I was waiting for yours because I knew as a mother of fur kids, you'd come up with a winner. And you did. I love it!

  3. I like the take you portray. The boot as a surrogate for the man...
