I'm Over the Whimsy!🤣

 

 

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

 

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

 

You are a leech

Hiding under the guise

Of free speech

I am the blood

Of which you do seek

 

You think I can’t see you

But I know you

Too well!  

 

You are the snake

Slipping and sliding

While all the while

You think your true self

Is in hiding

 

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?

 

I am a poet

A seeker of words

I am a witch

And I hide in the herd

 

Are you threatened

By sweet, little me?

I give you songs

About the birds

And the bees

 

Please don’t be fooled

By my innocent presence

Because underneath the fluff

Is a spine made

Of steel

 

I will let you believe

What you need to feel free

But please don’t be fooled

Like you think you fool me

 

I am well wrapped

In a fleece made of

Keeping it real

So please continue

To spew

 

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.
