Please Continue to Spew!
I'm Over the Whimsy!🤣
Â
Â
I thought about you today
And then I thought about myself
I contemplated your energy
And how it could take me
To heaven or hell
Â
I quite like the idea of heaven
Where angels sing
In sweet melodic tunes
Because when I compare that
To a living hell
My heart shrinks
Under a melancholic spell
Â
You are a leech
Hiding under the guise
Of free speech
I am the blood
Of which you do seek
Â
You think I can’t see you
But I know you
Too well! Â
Â
You are the snake
Slipping and sliding
While all the while
You think your true self
Is in hiding
Â
But I know who you are!
And you won’t get far
I may write about fairies
Flowers and art
But do you really believe
That I show you my heart?
Â
I am a poet
A seeker of words
I am a witch
And I hide in the herd
Â
Are you threatened
By sweet, little me?
I give you songs
About the birds
And the bees
Â
Please don’t be fooled
By my innocent presence
Because underneath the fluff
Is a spine made
Of steel
Â
I will let you believe
What you need to feel free
But please don’t be fooled
Like you think you fool me
Â
I am well wrapped
In a fleece made of
Keeping it real
So please continue
To spew
Â
Because you can’t see me
But I can see you!

Menacing poets? Whatever next? The contrast between your two poems could not be much greater. Shows your range, Clare . Loved them both.
