The Zwieback Warrior

The Zweiback Warrior Zweiback cookies – teething biscuits Yucky, gnawed upon, gummed delights Xeric surface absorbing wanton drool Wielded, by the toothless cherub, in Valiant fencing stance encumbered by Unsteady footwork of diapered distress. Tongue licking the blunted sword tip Short sticky fingers grasping the hilt Reeling under the self’s relentless Quest to free the imprisoned. Pursed lips immune to all assaults, Open gates of tormented demon Nourished by the wailing Moans of twice baked relief, Lulled into the whimpering Kingdom of the succulent biscotti. Jaws clenched on mercy’s mushiness Ingesting its flavored fluids, Holding the healing wand Gripping it tightly lest it be lost. Featureless, the ravaged cookie, is Eased from the grasp of the Duelist sleeping hand. Champion of the Battle for A tooth. 7/12/2015 submitted to – Abecedarian – Poetry Contest sponsor – Shadow Hamilton
