it must have happened
while i was napping
skulking round a body prone
lying there defenseless sweet
such sudden curious creeping now
marching through my little bones
wired to connectors electric
razzed and razzled to the marrow
and plying (hot devil
that i am)
a hungry elf awake
soft beneath my pointed cap
faint glimmer white off sudden teeth
and sounding now are quickened feet
that leap so fast and scamper merrily
through moonglowed claustrophobic streets
o such amber eyes do angle
you notice now just how they shine!
their sudden readiness
a knife clicked open
the lolling tongue
and jingling bells
determined now to eat then beg
for more in my adorable way

I have been trying to stay chill, trying to not get all excited too soon, but this, 'specially that last little bit, just pushed me ovah the edge and I like that it's happened very, very much.
Happy Christmas
you know I may try to tackle rhyme with this. it feels like it needs to rhyme.
catch, I do thank you. it was a fun poem and I honestly have no idea why I wrote it or what it all means. :)
Linda, hey girl! all is well in this part of the world. we hanging. we living. hope all is well with you.
willie, elves are some seriously ugly suckers. unless they're hobbitland elves, in which case they look like orlando bloom and liv tyler.
