James Marshall Goff Poet Couplet

Lady In Black

'Round & round the block she goes
Whose house she stops  nobody knows

Curtains are drawn lest darkness appear
Clip-clop the lady in dark we all fear

Neighbors are heard, sobs distant muffle
Drones in the sky cause quite a kerfuffle

What evil minds invent such horror?
I pray Mother Mary help us! I implore

"Cease-fire for one-day" he exhorts with mirth
"Bombings will resume" just after His Birth

Lisa Ricci April 26, 2022 at 8:55 AM Hello James - This is the second entry I turned to today by you with such strength and power that makes the reader pause for a second. That is a plus. Truly you have the gift to execute imagery and illusion to reach the reader. May you always continue to write in that fashion. Thank you for sharing your poetic talent. Have a wonderful day. Keep enjoying poetrysoup and poetry as well. Take care

Vegter Papyrus August 27, 2018 at 11:36 AM The thing that caught me is "pray Mother Mary help us..." never heard about Mary having any power or dominion over anything! ... Question. Do you agree with Trump flying the flag halfway for a day, when it's suppose to be there until he's buried, is being disrespectful to the memory of McCain? He did fight. And Trump tapped out. Will remove this later. Take care Poet! Keith James Marshall Goff May 16, 2023 at 6:53 PM I am Catholic 2...& believe prayer is all I can daily accomplish to ask Holy Mary & Her Son Jesus to end the human suffering going on over 10 yrs after writing this verse! Vegter Papyrus August 27, 2018 at 2:43 PM My wife and her family are Catholic, so i do understand! I asked them and they looked at me crazy. Mary is a blessing...chosen by God!!

Kp Nunez December 26, 2014 at 4:21 AM Dark, sad poem of death, you feel her move in stealth, with each line you deliver, can't help myself but shiver. A 7, from a friend, Kim Patrice :)
