Orphan Poem...no title yet...

Full moon.

Warlocks are lining up outside my door.

Witches wind around the block.

The pastor tells me

it is Satan and his band

of rogues come for me.

My conscience tells me

it is only fair,

considering what I have done.

Have you done it too?

jillypoet said...: wow guys. i thought it was just kind of a throw away poem. it came to me as i was falling asleep, kind of like my 6-year-old, waking me up in the middle of the night, and I grudglingly turned the lighton and wrote it down. not to say i do anything grudgingly for my kids. oh no, i'm a great great mom!; 9:37 AM
