Entertaining the Intruder
A frequent visitor
has come over to play
I never invite it
and it won't go away

It looms near my ear
making me sweat

stutter a line
smiles eternally
my words aren't mine
-
I hope it will vacate
my small home
I'm locked inside
not free to roam

If only she was being melodramatic...

I always enjoy both your artwork and your writing.
You’re very talented. I like both pieces a lot! 😃
