Who Am I

I am cunning and smart, deception and lying are my game. I will be your best friend, or your worst nightmare. I first got noticed when I appeared with Eve, we were best of friends may years ago. My slick tongue Eve listened to, now mankind is paying the price. I come in many pretty colors, some with a real deadly bite. I like to sway to a song, play it sweetly as I dance along. Many like to hunt us, a delicious meal we can be. Have you figured out little lovable me, deception~lying~delicious~a snake for all to see. Date Written: 12/31/2021

Such a clever write expressed well and with ease in a dramatic monologue my dear friend. I love it. Hope I can write also a poem with this form someday coz it's still hard for me. Thank you very much for sharing. Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2022 with your family. Hugs

Dear Paula, quite a mysterious dramatic monologue! This form is one of my most favourites, but haven't figured out yet what to present for Beata's contest. A very Happy New Year, Paula. Wish you all the best, Dearest Friend. Love and hugs ~ Mala
