I have been watching you my sweet lovely, for days, I have been returning to this spot; watching you preen, yes, I want you badly, oh, I have a very devious plan and plot. For days, I have been returning to this spot, you have returned- for you truly love the sun; oh, I have a very devious plan and plot, you will not be pretty when your neck is broken. You have returned for you truly love the sun, I have been calculating the exact right time; you will not be pretty when your neck is broken. and there will be no evidence of the crime. I have been calculating the exact right time, oh, my family say- I am a handsome boy; and there will be no evidence of the crime, they don't know that with pretty things- I toy. Oh, my family say- I am a handsome boy, watching you preen, yes, I want you badly; they don't know that with pretty things- I toy, I have been watching you my sweet lovely. _______________________ November 13, 2017 Poetry/Pantoum/The Handsome Stalker Copyright Protected, ID 17-9609-50-0 All Rights Reserved.

Creepy stuff, Broken Wings! The Pantoum form was an excellent choice to convey your story; that repetition of lines throughout almost mimicking the damaged psyche of the stalker! Congratulations on your win!! Regards, John.

Love the take on the theme, Constance, I sometimes sit and wonder what my cat Celeste is thinking when the birds are on the path. Congrats! Viv x
