LOOKING ASKANCE or “Riddle Me This” <\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking askance,
\nand simply not sure,
\nthough at the same time
\ncould quite care less,
\nwhy we’re sitting here
\nand looking at her,
\nas dressed in black
\nshe’s so much at home,
\nwith her treasures,
\nher pets,
\nwho fit right in
\nwith her world
\nand her mystery,
\nas likewise dressed
\nin matching black
\nand waiting for us
\nto say the next word,
\nto ask her the question,
\nwhatever it is.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And the answer she gives
\nmay solve the riddle
\nof why she and they
\nare there quite like that,
\nthis young woman,
\nas feline-like as
\nher feline reclining,
\nand her trusted
\ncanine still
\nstanding at
\nattention.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

When this mysterious maiden
\ngives us the answer
\nto whatever is our question,
\nthe riddle might be solved
\nor we’ll simply
\nturn around
\nand go
\nin the opposite direction.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Thanks so much for your visits and comments
\non this piece and the previous ones posted.

\nto my always somewhat reticent muse
\nwho found this image quite the challenge.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n
