Beware Of The Bushes Poem by Felicia Manning
Beware Of The Bushes
Beware of the Bushes ahead,
Is what the warning sign read.
But my curiosity,
It got,
The best of me,
And to the bushes I went over,
I met my best friend,
My worst enemy.
He was skinny,
Sick,
He was a serpent,
When he politely asked for food,
His words were hypnotic,
And pleasant.
Seductive hiss,
Promised love,
Money,
Bliss.
I could have it all,
Music to my ears,
I could be rich.
He had only one request,
That was to feed him til,
His hunger was at rest.
So I brought him all the food,
I could gather and find.
He ate it,
And grew three times my size!
I expected with this he would be satisfied,
But it turned out he wanted more
Than I could provide,
And since I did not deliver,
He ate me too!
Like a piece of chopped liver.
I expected with this he would be satisfied, beautifully written expressive poem. Nice on sharing.

I've noticed a resounding theme in many of your poems. You've been screwed over time and again and that these snakes have a mesmerizing charm, a smooth seductive speech and probably have some pretty elusive moves. Not all men are like this but I would say a vast majority are sadly enough. Just keep penning your heart out while you live, learn, love.
