The Stalker

THE STALKER

I had a feeling of being watched 
It made me so uneasy
I looked around but saw no one
I really felt quite queasy

This went on for several weeks
And then one day he approached me
I had no place to make a retreat
No on there to help me

He made obscene remarks 
As he held me in his grasp
My mind began to wonder
Just how long will all this last

And then the thought occurred to me
What sort of coward is this creep
To stoop so low as to attack someone
And I began to weep

This seemed to somewhat startle him
He loosened the grip he had
So I punched him in the nose
And blood gushed forth rather bad

When I decided to punch him again
The coward then turned and ran
I stood amazed at what I had done
To this creep who was less than a man

Now I carry pepper spray
I don't really need to carry a gun 
'Cause if I'm ever accosted again
I can make the coward run

Wow, this is a wonderful write my friend! I hope this never has happened to you in real life! I know how writers prerogative works so I understand that if this is purely fiction! I write quite a bit of fiction works, but some people think that I am writing about myself, I don't always write on the poem that it was fiction...as that seems to deter from the poem whenever I do! You have written such a magnificent piece here this morning (yesterday actually) and I'm surely impressed! Great Work!!

Thanks, Bob! How good to hear from you. I hope you are right about it being a winner. I have been entering contests for the past couple of months. Some I won, some I lost, and some I got rained out. But that's how it goes in this game. All is well at the Moorman household. I pray all is well with you and Vera. I continue to pray for you both.
