A Winter’s Night Part 3

Part 1

Part 2

T’was a cold gray twilight in the winter,
Thoughts drifting to what to make for dinner,
Something warm for the soul throughout the night,
Spicy and hot followed by something sweet,
Then thoughts disrupted when I saw my light.

Shades raised I could see inside from the street
Thoughts of burglars did replaced things to eat,
Then I remembered about my house guest,
To whom I’d left there a long day ago,
My mood wasn’t glad but I’d try my best.

Some things were in places they did not go,
She was being helpful and did not know,
Perhaps it was just boredom and loneliness,
And the changed things were easy to repair,
Perhaps she didn’t understand I like darkness.

Visibly changed with clean clothes and combed hair,
Barely looked like the same two I’d left there,
She smiled at me as her little girl did play,
And it seems she had made a nice dinner,
I guess I will let her stay another day.

End Part 3
All persons in this story are fictional,
any correlation to any one living or dead is coincidental

Professor, for some reason your links aren't working. I tried to go in and "fix" them but so far, nothing.  You may want to go in and recut/paste them in so they link back to the poems for easy access.

As for the poem...I get the feeling this story is not yet done...even though you say "end".  Perhaps you'll reconsider?

Ah, Gloom. The story gets better with each new part. Do I detect a fading of darkness, attacked by light. Ah! Hurry! We are waiting with baited breath for Part 4.

Thank you, Sunshine,
Sorry that the links don’t work,
I’m a poet not a computer geek, but I’ll try to fix the situation.
I think they’ll be a part 4, eventually.
Glad you’ve liked it so far.

Thank you, Silver Streak,
A fading of Darkness?  Now how could that happen?
As for the baited breath, I suggest you lay off the anchovy pizzas.
Pleased you enjoyed.

Thank you Zinsser, Mistletoe Angle, & Sunshine
Part 4 will come, but I might add a few independent ones
In the MEAN time.
Thank you for your support.
