Tess Kinkaid Magpie Tales
She watches closely
Waiting to see
What happens
When the damage
She has done
Creates havoc
She waits patiently
In the wings
Knowing that
He will come
When his love
Has had enough
She will console
Hold his hand
Comforting words
To soothe him
Knowing she had
Planned it all

ReplyDeleteManipulation and malice make for a great poem. I want to know more of this story.
ReplyDeleteShe is up to no good. I've been staring at her trying to put together something but I gather I've been seeing her in the wrong light. Perhaps I can spin something now.
ReplyDeleteSo much to this piece--it can spin out in so many directions! Lovely write!
