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
Indeed..me and Alice are always armed and ready..with words at least..lock and load baby ;)

ReplyDeleteHa...thanks. Hope so too!
DeleteYup ,,, this woman is capable of striking a pose, playing the cutsie, trying to be sweet, but when push comes to shove, don't mess with her! Haha! I am woman hear me roar!
ReplyDeleteYes ,I thought you might be Susan:)
ReplyDeleteWhat an entrancing poem and set of pics. I loved this one. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, in some cases only fire fought with fire works...
ReplyDeleteRallentanda, 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 :-)
