Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Sabotaged By Chateau Charlene

Chateau Charlene pulled out all the pins today
Trying to watch Cheeky Wall fall.
Cheeky Wall has had too much experience
Showing the world her sassy, funny, hilarious side
Keeping our true feelings inside 
As deep down as possible

Emotions are seething from Cheeky Wall 
Into the grounds of Chateau Charlene right now
Like snakes, they slither toward her foundation, 
Trying to crack it, reveal her secrets.
These two are in a magnificent love-hate relationship.
Each trying to sabotage 
And take down the other
When the kingdom falls
Will the truth be revealed?

Person alert.
Smile on face?
Pretend light in eyes?
Happiness showing?

Depression and despair in the dungeon gurgles up
In a bowl of black snakes and dead pussy willow leaves.
I tamp them down
So no one knows
“Hi!” we say.
A bit too brightly.
Luckily no one
cares or even
notices.

Vladislav Raven September 1, 2019 at 4:28 PM Hi Caren, I love the content of this one, It looks like a love-hate relationship by two inanimate objects. It is a poetic way to look at an old building. Love the visions. Have a wonderful Monday, when it comes. Hugs....Mike. XX Caren Krutsinger September 1, 2019 at 10:03 PM I love old buildings, and visions.
