Pet Project
Written to the prompt “Pet Project”
Our first meeting was one I will never forget,You arrived to me in a box,Yourself no larger than my open palm,I was told you ate sardines,It was not long before I gave you meat,I wonder what you thought of my realm,My bachelor’s castle in the hills,You crawled all over,Into shoes,Onto furniture,Into my heart,You said a lot to me as you looked into my eyes while laying on my chest,With a regal gentleness befitting of only one such as you,Nigisiti my queen,You will never lack within our realm,Within this kingdom’s castle in the hills
