Probing Robert (For My Friend Probert) Poem by Sylvi Sylva

Like clockwork, round about the same time
Akin to an inured creature, this time not tame
Harrying, standing for its keep
Never ending, a timely seek

Like a child, inquisitive and motivated
Akin to a time bomb, this time detonated
Seeking, targeting for its mark
Never fearing, fusing a spark

Like a hunter, prowling and spearing
Akin to a sorcerer, this time trancing
Casting, magically winding the spell
Never ceasing, coaxing the prey out of its shell

Like Robert, chancing and probing
Akin to the devil, this time inviting
Captivating, inherently drawing you in
Never dying, until proudly he scores a win
