You never know who's watching

Be on your best behavior and you won't have to worry about it...

PAD #10, a different perspective (perfect for twisty me!)

The Fly on the Wall
 
I hear the plots,
The plans, the schemes.
 
I see the thoughts
Acted out, the dreams
Carried out, the masks
Fought about, the tasks
Forgot about.
 
I see the tears,
The sadness, the woe.
 
I smell the fears
Of failing to go
On sailing ahead,
And wailing of dread,
Arms flailing
 
The best thing I smell
Is happiness baking
 
Sweet good news to tell
Hear joyous noise-making
And boistrous hee haws
Midst anxious guffaws
Such curious

  1. That was kinda creepy... I liked it! It made me think of The Labyrinth and the little goblins watching and waiting. I dunno why. I think I need to watch the movie again. : )

  4. AHHH! This may be one of my favorites. I'm going to pretend it doesn't include spiders though. Very cool. I always wish I could be a fly on a wall.
