A rooster

The poem is an allegory. The rooster in the poem is compared to culture and tradition of a country.

A Rooster

At the start of light

And to begin the night,

You must have heard him sing.

Abruptly, after the clap of his wings.

He sings polished and codified sound,

Woven with words of his pick

He makes sure every corner of the universe feels his song’s lick.

He sincerely sings to wake and lullaby his master, rubbing his gound.

His songs stand as the symbol of novelty

Every word in it is extravagant with authenticity.

 

From nowhere a seductive foreign mistress passed by the coop

Galloping on a horse.

Lured Master willingly promised to stoop.

The ruthless Mistress devoured the murdered singer on the feasting table

Yet beside her stood the master without a tiniest remorse.

The remains of the feast, were thrown in the stable.

At the start of light

And to begin the night,

You will never hear him sing

You will hear the bell ring.

This is a nice poem. The symbolism is beautiful and I can't see much wrong with it as a whole. I think you did a good job with this. One thing I would say is the title isn't very appealing and doesn't really reflect what the poem is really about, maybe consider changing that
