Shame On You

I hear your voice, down the hall The look on my face, tells all I feel my skin from outside in Tremble, Quiver and crawl A glance for reassurance Is more than enough for me Low tolerance, no endurance I halt my trembling knees You fooled me, yes This is truer than true You’ll fool the rest A time or two But never me Not again I clearly see Your scaly skin You slither around On the ground Beneath my feet You slide around In search of those Who’s heart, beats true Poor souls, who know Not yet, of you You fooled me once I will admit But shame on you I don’t forget Your brand of slime Your viscous kind Will meet its match, yet

Yes, they will, indeed! Sadly, it usually takes forever. Well worded.

The imagery is perfect. You have fun with this piece from start to finish and it brings a smile to my day. The poem uses unusual and somewhat lurid imagery to make a statement and is clever in its use. Emile.
