Enigma

Some laughable enigma hiding
Behind a blade of grass Where
All can see. Polished to a shine
Chanting "come get me if you can"

Outstretched arms to soothe and
Choke, amulet eyes that think they
Hypnotize but are transparent, cast
A lame spell to turn heads away.

Hollow features and no depth, cloaked
In a shallow, unmannered demeanor
No mystery here, just an old pathetic
Ploy trying to be dark and indistinct.

Yes dark, deep and mysterious and all behind a blade of grass? Your poem and picture both complement each other. Very well done.
