Unannounced Poem by Randy McClave

On my sentiments she quickly pounced
When I showed up at her door unannounced,
Even though someone else had knocked before
And she had happily allowed them in her front door.

She was happy to see me I thought at first
But, when I got home her feelings turned worse,
How dare I come to her house uninvited she did say
So, she earlier had pushed me away.
She said that she was not at all being mean
But, at her door unannounced I better not be seen,
Even though she has come to my house many times by surprise
And everytime I was elated, with joy in my eyes.

She had stood at her doorway protective like a sentry
Refusing and stopping me from any form of entry,
She said that she was sick and just tired as I stood in her yard
Then I noticed and I thought, am I the only one barred.
