Day Seven of NaPoWriMo. The prompt:

Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem of gifts and joy. What would you give yourself, if you could have anything? What would you give someone else?

What better gift than nature?

trap 1

I

it’s a trap, you say
like I’m trying to bait you
I don’t hunt for sport

trap 2

II

shut your trap, she says
I comply, as I’m the prey
ensnared in her game

trap 3
III

trapped within a web
intersecting lies constrict
tighter with each move

trap 4
