A New Discovery...Poetry Jam

I found a new challenge...I'm really challenged every day but I mean a creative challenge.  I need them you know because I head in many directions with my words.
Sometimes they are loud, sometimes soft but I keep 'em comin'.  I hope you're never bored here.
The new playground I just discovered has many participants.  This week's Poetry Jam is Shadows.

The mushroom cast a shadow

In early morning sun

Little did it know by Eve

Evil would be done.

The lady picked so carefully

The edible with the bad

No one would suspect her

For the death of the loathsome cad.

Carefully cleaning all the fungi

She prepared a meal

It was difficult

Her wounds were not yet healed.

The Cad had killed her husband

Her soul mate for life

The selfish little monster

Wanted her for his wife.

The lady had no choice

And stayed to protect her child

But the things that happened

Were absolutely wild.

She sliced and diced

The morsels she'd chosen

Battered and cooked them right

Fresh and not frozen.

With the child asleep

Fires carefully tended

They sat down to dine

One bite and his life ended.

No remorse did she display

Bruises unhealed from the night before

They came to take her away

She sweetly smiled as he lay on the floor.

They declared self defense

her daughter they didn't take her

Eve got a good job

She's the town's new baker.
