Notes About The Poem

No poet was harmed in the making of this poem.

Chickens, Bananas, and Coconuts

What a lovely bunch! Or is that bananas?
I think the term is cluster. But isn’t that chickens?
No, that’s a peep, as in, don’t make one.

If I don’t make a peep, will I become a Silent One?
If I Speak(s) Volumes will I cluck like a cluster of chickens? 
If I do, will I be thought crazy as a hand of bananas?

If I am an Unseeking Seeker, will I lose my chickens?
Or is that marbles? I have to choose just one.
Peep of chickens, cluster of coconuts, or hand of bananas?

Forget the chickens and bananas, make a poem with the other one.

William Kelii Kekaula October 12, 2023 at 7:11 PM A witty write, Linda! I can't use my name as a PS tag as yours, since growing up in the States with a last name like 'Kekaula' (kay-COW-la) and winning 'Golden Glove' for our small town dad who taught us--few daring black-eyed boys ended it, but I still won't hit girls who went Scott-Free! Enjoyed your light-humored massacre! Aloha, William Kekaula (lucky LADY) Linda Alice Fowler October 13, 2023 at 7:37 AM LOL William. I see why you may not want to use it as a tag. :)) So nice to see you here. Your visits are always pleasing and warming with your sweet comments. Have a fine weekend my friend. :)
