The Little Monster

THE LITTLE MONSTER

It can be sweet, or very sour.
It can be your friend, or your worst enemy.
It lives inside.
Free to roam the outside.
It smiles big when it gets what it wants.
If taken away, on the floor it will stomp.
Like a magician with many tricks.
It farts.
It kicks.
When mad it has a very loud yell.
My mom dose not let me call it.
A demon from hell.
It pulls hair, it punches, and it screams.
With this little monster,
it is best to be on its team.
This monster who around others acts like an angel.
Is really a beast in disguise.
It tricks you with hugs and kisses.	
It is very clever, very wise.
Under the skin the monster hides.
So what if it’s my sister from the outside

I don't have the privillage of a little sister as I am the youngest. but my split personalities give me a run for my money. So in that case I can relate to your poem. Love this one too. It's like going into your mind and seeing what SKAT is like. or what you want us to see. Cool

Dear Irma, I laughed when I read your poem, The Little Monster. It reminds me of my kid sister when we were young. Well done! Thank you for your comment on my poem, Black Spirit. I’m glad you liked this strange fantasy. Love, Amy
