with dog
and boot.
and boot.
Kinky Boots
He stood somber
head lowered
a forlorn feeling submerged
just below the surface
anxiously gnawing at his insides.
His old dog waited
as his master
cursed the malady of his soul
with tail undecided
lost behind this primeval instinct
which erected a fence of indecision
for both.
He chasing curiosities
his dog faithfully watches
his master
with a reputation
of a chambermaid.
of a chambermaid.
His quick-breathing eagerness
tormenting him from the other side
a frenzy of passions
man against beast
his true self exposed
and yet
all the while knowing -
My friend waits for me.
My friend waits for me.
I like to write my poem for magpie's picture prompt after first sight of it
and then by studying the artist.
Today's Magpie Tales has this man, Zelco Nedic- to thank

This is good, I like how you bring out in the poem the contrast between the tormented human and the faithful simple dog
I agree with Jenny, and some of the phrases you have used, like quick-breathing eagerness draw the picture perfectly. The undecided tail speaks volumes too. I couldn't get going again this week - perhaps I'll be back next week.
I liked your take! I also enjoyed hearing about your approach to writing for her prompts.
of a chambermaid..oh my...nice description....and the tension is thick in this one...unveiling our true selves..
Awesome!
What a special picture.
Greetings,
Filip

Yes, this has a lot of tension and intrigue and surprise - the Chambermaid soul! K.
Nice, the picture does leave a lot for the imagination.
This is beautiful. I especially like:
He chasing curiosities
his dog faithfully watches
his master
with a reputation
of a chambermaid

oh!
Not to denigrate your involving poetry!
Karen, this is wonderful. Thank you.
you caught the conflict well I believe
The artist poignantly gives us just a glimpse / the writer draws the character out
Nice to meet you
The second last stanza is so good...your poem speaks for the pic in depth....
Kind of makes me want to be a dog in my next life... if I have a say in the matter that is. ;-)
Fantastic writing Karen!
"Malady of his soul"/"reputation of a chambermaid"..Images galore! I like your plan for writing the prompt!
Lovely images here - love it!
