Blood Lust

I'm tired, uninspired, nothing's fun anymore, sick of working so much and still being poor. Christmas is coming and all I feel is dread. No sugarplum fairies dancing in this head. Into my haven pure evil has snuck: someone came and killed my sweet pet ducks. I hope you choke on their bones, you SOB, my heart is filled with hatred, your evil's infested me. My pacifist husband has even bought a gun! He really wants to kill you, so you see how evil's won? And now, and now, when I look at the lake, all I can feel is... a wrenching heartbreak. The fish that we feed have become so tame, they are fooled by your lures; it's hardly fair game. And WE are at fault for gaining their trust, God, we hate you "fishermen" with your sickening blood lust. Anger and revenge have usurped our peace, and I am just waiting for this crappy life to cease.

This crappy life will rnd much too soon. So along with the bad times and hardships we've still got to enjoy every freakin' moment. That's why my nostalgia writes are seen through rose colored glasses. We tend to forget the hard times and look back seeing only the good. Fabulous write. Vince

Another terrific write Danielle. The rhyming again this write is perfect. You have a winderful ability to tell a story and tell it well. I am drawn into your writes and held captive to the very end.Loved it! Much love, Chris.
