Love is where you find it

Finding love -
a chameleon in a candy store.
True love -
orphaned by society.
Love -
a revolution that went wrong:
we are all villains.
Now it’s autumn
fabulistic leaves fall
on unsettled ground
claiming tales of love
but love is no where
to be seen.
Meanwhile, a spider
spins a web
advertising love
for sale:
a fly applies.
Next door, a domestic Incident
the Praying Mantis household
wife chews husband’s head off:
no love lost here.

ah yes, those Praying Mantis...they just can't have a cigarette after sex.
and the fly got the job...and his family wondered the next day where he was.

Yes J lots of widows out there praying. I think the fly was just a meal ticket. Thank you for your words.
