Miss. Mariel C.

 

My name is Miss. Mariel C.

And something very strange has happened indeed

 

I can fly over trees so tall

And I can walk through walls

And be in places I couldn’t normally be

 

My name is Miss. Mariel C.

And people keep ignoring me

 

I scream and I shout

And I flounce all about

But none of them seem to see

 

My name is Miss. Mariel C.

And I find this rather strange indeed

 

I’ve gone without food and I’ve gone without sleep

And it’s already been a matter of weeks

I guess I’m just very sturdy

 

My name is Miss Mariel C.

And this is quite bothering me

 

The people I knew seem so terribly blue

As they stop by my home in the solemnest hues

And I’m not sure what I should do

 

My name is Miss Mariel C.

And it’s finally come to me

 

Why I’ve been acting so odd

And the townspeople as well

As I stand by my toumb

I wonder if I’m for heaven or hell

 

My name is Miss. Mariel C.

And this light is blinding me

 

The silent cloaked phantom

Is finally taking

My soul where it’s meant to be

 

My name is Miss. Mariel C.

And I died quite suddenly

 

From a chicken bone lodged deep down in my throat

And I’m never the type of woman to gloat

But that seems so terribly me…

Ahaha, -great- job here.
Reminds me of Shel Sliverstein work.
If you haven't read him you need to go right now!
Ok. Not -right- now.
You haven't finished reading my review. *laughs*
Anyway, very enjoyable and whimsical and funny.
Defiantly let me know if you do more poems in this style.
I'd love to read them.
