You could tell she was a young thing

springy legs and all that;

curious, confident, didn’t give a damn

 

I shooed her with my scarf

then an empty plastic bag-

she gave me the eye- back off

Green eyes to green eyes

 

She’ll have him, I thought-

he’s not used to others

won’t know how to handle himself.

 

Yet I saw something in his eye;

  I’ve got this

  I know what to do

  I don’t need you to fight my battles

 

So I flip flopped off

down stone stairs

leaving you

to your own kind.

 Really enjoyed this. Love the communication with eyes and how the 'kind' is left for the reader to puzzle. Nice one!

Me too - great mystery poem. I thought perhaps it was a frog. I probably sound stupid now huh.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

hello lovewriting,

enjoyed reading your poem -

it's very original and lightly put across - and has a nice sense of humour which made me smile.

good luck with the writing......h
