Perspective

Today, we're challenged to write a poem which 'presents a scene from an unusual point of view.' The most difficult part of this challenge seems to lie in choosing the perspective from which to write! Perhaps I will settle for a rather obvious perspective which springs to mind...

The fly on the wall

I watched from high

as the world went by

slowly below me

They did not see me,

did not hear me;

all those babbling fools

One fool dropped his food –

I did not doubt I would

land upon that tasty seat

On my spiralling journey south

I'd land on someone's mouth

and be swatted away like the fly I am

But for a little while longer,

until the temptation grew stronger,

I watched the world from high
