Fire with Fire

Poetry Jam
Dverse OLN 
Three Word Wednesday

standing in the line of fire
she pretended she was a tree




always a good standby
in times of threat

pumping out chameleon overload
she disguised her arms as branches

no politically correct person
faithful to the green cause
would want to kill a tree

she scrutinised the situation
and judged this the best option
rather than isolating herself again

besides the old codger said
keep writing
he knew someone
would come gunning for her

she even contemplated throwing
on a cute kitten persona



or even a snow white impersonation
to appease her aggressor



but then why bother with such nonsense



fight fire with fire

old habits die hard

  3. The tree image is incredible. I hope everyone that reads your blog really looks at it. It would be a shame to miss the real image there. Great job!

  8. Rallentanda, I have missed you! Happy New Year!! Excellent take on the prompt--I always felt like Snow White was more inclined to kick ass than clean house :-)
