Dear Fly
I tried to read the paper
while eating my toast
and drinking my tea
but you got in the way
almost too small
to be noticed
you darted in and out
a momentary annoyance
not worth getting out
the fly swat
but I was tempted
to squash you
that would blight the page
and spoil the ambience
so I decided
I would ignore you
you must have felt
that deliberate disregard
because you disappeared
– a flown fly
I'd love to get your thoughts about this post.
