Mary Carroll Poet Verse

My Ex

My ex is like...
		a troll:

	a short one, ugly and hairy but muscular.

My ex is like...
		an overstuffed gnome, 
	like a Santa’s elf with a bristling beard, but
		never a smile.

My ex is like...
		Jabba the Hut:
	gross, ill-mannered, greedy, selfish,
	gobbling up whatever suits him.

My ex is gone. And my relief is like sunshine and
	an open window after a heavy rain.
