Notes About The Poem

Just an example of what you could write

An Unwanted Guest

It really bugged him, that shadow lurking
in the depths of the corner just waiting.

He had tried moving everything around
to no avail, it hung there as if bound.

He felt as if it was watching him move
for what he was unsure maybe his love.

Yet he knew for sure one way or another 
it had to go for it was a real bother.

He tried repainting, that was a flop
it was full of bubbles he had to pop.

It appeared his guest was here to stay
nothing he tried seemed to keep it at bay.

In the end he put a screen that blocked
to which he swore the shadow flocked.
