John Lawless Poet Free verse

The Hole In the Fence

It beckons, taunts
"I dare ya!"
Come a little closer
Let me scare ya
Take a peek
you know ya wanna
We won't tell
Scouts honor

WHAP - whipped cream
Right in the kisser
Life's comment tossed
Serpent like "hisser"
She left her marks
But I still miss her

For she had added
Flesh to bone
Put peanut butter
On a scone

So must the muse my
In self defense
Challenge itself
Peek through the fence
