Con Artist

To admit I was a con artist

might take some by surprise

“Who’d’ve  thought that she could write?”

I  imagine the look in their eyes.

And with that look they shake their heads

admitting they’d had their suspicions;

some saw through me so long ago

‘the odd girl with strange ambitions.’

But I’m no writer, I just pretend

as I work into the night

a new idea has struck again,

if I’m lucky the words fall right.

Yes, I’m truly just a poser of  sorts

I run a con with my words

while some may deem me brilliant

the rest think I’m absurd!
