The Hard Lesson... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Hard Lesson...

Rating: 5.0


before that you fear
their eyes that gaze at you
as if you were the rat
and they are the owls

it is pretty tiring tip
toeing on your heels like
you are a battered ballet
dancer

it can change you got to

and so the day has come when
you arrive as a dragon and the
are owls and you spit fire on
them and the burn.

then back to your mouse existence
again
you just taught them their
hard lesson.
