Paula Goldsmith Poet Dramatic Monologue

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.
