Poem (3) Monster Karen

Karen is my daughter-in-law
But she is a monster
And an incredible actor
She pretends to be caring
But what are behind the scenes?





She loathes me and my antique furnitures
And claims that they are filthy
and unhealthy for the family
Especially my treasured bed,
that she thinks fill of bugs and vermin
Worse thing is, she called that 'the monster '

It makes her fume
When i occupy one of the rooms
She had intentions
Of getting me out
I know that
And it is somehow making her mad
to let Sai Khong nod his head

At work, she complains about me
to her colleagues
How troublesome, dirty
eyesore, loathsome i was to her
And how i mispronounce her children's names



I am now very sick
And they were planning what to do with me
It's best to get her to the hospital
Suggested the doctor
The next moment her face became brighter
As if she was about to conquer the world

'It'll be a great idea, doctors know the best'
I really wanted to shout at her
To spew out all her bad intentions
And to beg my son to let me die on my bed

But it was to no avail
I was too frail
to voice that out
The next thing i know is,
Evil Karen would be throwing my treasured bed away

Until Sai Khong tells her that
those things actually worth a little fortune
Materialisticcally
She did be starting to be concern about me
while she sells away
my treasure, her monster

  3. Your poem is very long but it is also creative. You described all the features of the story. But there's one problem, I think you need to add a title for your poem, overall it is a well written poem. Good job! :)
