Viv Wigley Poet Sonnet

Stalker

You live your life unaware that you're mine
and gaze through me like I do not exist
you may ignore me now, with that I'm fine
since I know all the signs that you have missed.
The daily trips to see you at the store
but buying nothing, see you then I leave
you act like you have not seen me before
a fact that I find so hard to believe.
Maybe you're so wrapped up within yourself
those flowing locks, blue eyes and perfect skin
you know you'll never be left on the shelf
for soon it will be time to take you in.
Not long now, darling for that moment when
Barbie, you join with me, your lover, Ken.

Andrea Dietrich November 18, 2017 at 12:23 AM oh my gosh, I came back here to see that it was a doll. How did I not pick up on it with the heavy hint of Barbie and Ken at the ending? Good grief.

Susan Ashley November 14, 2017 at 5:25 PM Ohh Viv, the creepy stalker creep factor is an astronomical 10 for 10 in the psychological thriller... your last two lines gave my already chilled psyche goosebumps on my body to match! Your poem really elicited the response you wrote for - excellently expressed and enjoyed! Good luck in the contest!!
