A while back, an unnamed someone had proposed the idea of a "writer's insert". I thought this was a great idea, so I decided to fetch the nearest poet I know...
Monochromatic Amalgamation

Translated from Dog by Plumeria-hi
I was curled on the ash cushions
When the
New Master
Arrived home.
Stylish as ever
In a dark-grey chen shan.
The scent of snow lingers around his presence…
He's returned from a meeting in Russia.
•
"I'm home!"
He calls into the house,
Giving me a brief pat before going on his way.
•
I decide to follow him.
•
The chrome tatami feels soft as I pad
To the back-porch
Where Master is awaiting under the map of stars.
He grins as he sees me,
And motions for me to climb into his lap.
I walk away.
•
My master has other company in mind.
His light-grey robes
Is fragranced in something sweet.
•
My hunch tells me it is love.
•
The New Master is swathed in the same aroma.
•
The New Master arrives
And envelops Master into his arms.
•
They will stay that way for the rest of the night.
Dark-grey
And light-grey, amalgamated
In perfect harmony.
•
It smells beautiful.
Next time, I might even make Mr. Kappa, Mr. Dragon and Shinatty-san do one. And of course, I can't forget Tama, and Panda, and...
I think I got the idea of a "writer's insert" all wrong.
