Alison Hodges Poet Rhyme

Mara Calls

All things can tempt me from my chosen chore.
A cup of hot chocolate or ancient lore.
My dog, his belly up, thinks we should play.
with simple things Mara lures me away.
My poetry waits, carved upon my heart.
Waits faithfully for Mara to depart.
A single poem slipped under my door.
Pen to paper, to screen, to paper once more.
Then wait! At my door someone is pounding.
Three friends enter, their chatter abounding!
