Short Dissects Poems

The more I try to reassure my mother,
The more she suspects...

The concerns and cares I shoulder,
I conceal and collect.

Her ears keen to the notes I offer,

watching light burn 
Until it is as small as a flea, 
While we endure engulfed

The instigator relates, we cheer.
Deflates nay Sayers
The instigator retraced all fears

 FAME No game.
The instigator takes flight 
Ignites surprise
Do fly red eye
Nice GUY  GOOD GUY

GOOD BYE...
