Lol. I guess that is what a cat would think about his/her "servant" - the human who is also a poet and is able to write pithy poetry! Congratulations on your second place finish!

I got a good little chuckle from this piece. As an animal lover myself, I find that from time to time; they inspire many a verse to come out. Animals can be a great inspiration.

They are quite observant, yet remain unopinionated.

I believe cats think we are their servants and should wait on them hand and foot. I think I found a solution to the picture quandary where one side is larger than the other. Go to Advanced Options at the bottom of the page and select picture size. Then click on the old photo size. It helps a lot. What a wonderfully written poem.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

This 3-5-3 writing prompt entry entitled, "Servant"
Utilizes a picture of a black cat.
Are we truly the master or are we the servant?
I like to think that my cat and I are on an equal basis. Unconditional love.
Good luck with your contest entry.

This was so cute! It's funny how cats think we are their servants and dogs think they are ours. Thank you for sharing this 3-5-3 here, and best wishes to you.

Heh-heh. We live to serve our fur babies don't we?

Cats, especially have the most charming way of making it seem they're doing you a favor, letting you pet them!

Purr-fect!

The poem is awesome! The first two lines flow and connect well. The
last line puts the poem all together. I had to look up the word pithy - it has an interesting meaning! The artwork is exceptional and compliments
the words of this poem well.
