Treat
I spend some days talking to my dog who cocks his head
As if he’s trying to understand exactly the words I said
I recite my poems to him, seeking some kind of reaction
Yet the most I ever get is a look of quizzical satisfaction
In my head, I am speaking profound words with a beat
But to him, everything I say sounds like ‘Here’s a treat!’

Very nice! I’d settle for “quizzical satisfaction” with some. I think a dog might listen better than a cat especially if there is a treat waiting at the end.

Succinct and well written. It reminded me of a poet who I heard saying that fish are the best audiences for new poems.

Ha! I have two puppies that look at me like that. Yes, “treat” “walk” are what they live to hear.
