You can’t swat it.
Spray it.
Shut it out.
Tell it to sit. Stay.
It’s in yr brain.
Waiting. Watching
Friends, fellow writers
That first flicker of success
The green frog of envy.

This is a fine little poem, John! I certainly hope I can keep that little creature at bay, and think well for my friends if they find fame, but that little green fellow is always there, waiting, I agree with you on that, for sure.
