The Devil Moved In Next Door

Bait dangles as prospects lure Attempts to whittle the façade The devil moved in next door Flawless exploits and flashy couture Your coy routine makes me applaud Bait dangles as prospects lure Veiled summons via feral detour My thoughts tainted, sanity flawed The devil moved in next door Confident acts seem insecure Roguish gazes assail and prod Bait dangles as prospects lure True intentions emerge obscure Glacier-like egos need be thawed The devil moved in next door Your ignorance clutches my cure Maze of games, packed with fraud Bait dangles as prospects lure The devil moved in next door

Well done Natalie. I really enjoyed this, do you know my neighbour? Trust me, I'm sure he is the devil. I sent you a soupmail. Take care and thank you again for your poem about me. Love Lee

If the devil made you do it then I'm glad he moved next door...he inspired a funny and biting villanelle... (love those glacier-like egos!) Congratulaions, Natalie! - Tim

Awesome to see you doing a villanelle, Natalie. What inspired it? A contest? Or has a little devil really moved in next door to you? I think those devils are everywhere these days!!
