She hides in safety!

She hides in safety!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

She hides in safety!
When she said
"No-ones gonna steal my heart away!"
Someone did, never returned.
The house neglected
gardens overgrown,
grasses tall.
The hermit crab lives
alone in its shell
scurrying to safety
when approached
or seen.
