Ani said I had to reblog this one…
What poetics is Paul Scribbles serving up this week at dVerse Poets Pub? Soul gazing, he calls this week’s concoction. Well, I went off the leash a little with the prompt.

Running down a dream
Once there was a dog that was always kept on a chain, its yard a well-swept radius. When occasionally it slipped its collar, it had no locus of control and people wondered at its lack of manners.
Once there were two dogs that did not make a move without their masters ordering it. One of these dogs got many rewards, was rewarded for its every act of obedience. The other dog got many punishments, was punished for any slight disobedience. When their masters were not with them they were confused and people wondered at their lack of manners, at their begging and their cowering.
