Paula Goldsmith Poet Dramatic Monologue

In the Grass

Walking in the grass,                                                                                     green and soft beneath my bare feet.                                                                With a warm sunny day,                                                                                     and a cool breeze filling the air.                                                                             A sting I did feel,                                                                                                 it came out of no where.                                                                                   What was it,                                                                                                 was I to care.                                                                                                       A snake in the green grass was there hiding,                                                     just waiting for me to show up.                                                                        This reminds me of you,                                                                                  you hid until I showed up.                                                                           Your bite was like this snake,                                                                                 fast and so unaware.                                                                                       Yet very poisonous and painful,                                                                 guess you never really cared.

Bj Legros Kelley March 20, 2023 at 9:58 PM This sounds like a personification. Sounds like a terrible experience. Great poem, and point taken, beware of snakes in the grass to be sure.

Sotto Poet March 20, 2023 at 1:38 PM Paula your submission was fantastic. And your thought on grass is clear but scary. Where your feet may lead you is anyone's guess.
