charlotte
lives a stone’s throw away
from the gazebo
out back
she keeps to herself
most of the time
benevolent gal
well bred
a good neighbor
shy and retiring
garden protectress
defender of bullies
venus crossed her
only once
that was enough
trapped bugs flew
in all directions
a sight to behold
pandora’s exodus paled
to the consequences
of charlotte’s wrath
she hates stereotyping
and goes by charlotte
her middle name
make no mistake about it
shrinking violet
is no pushover
