Notes About The Poem

Dragon Fodder

toothy grin, downcast eyes
hidden by two dozen
sunset roses, a great-big
box of choice-chocolates
‘tis a good thing she doesn’t see
his flaming breath, the ring
on his butt-naked-finger
…this once

I’m back in my book of tricks.
Dragon Fodder given to the wife
after a husband’s bad behavior.

Love your title that perfectly defines your poem Kim! Great image "butt-naked" finger. Spousal betrayal perfectly articulated even through the roses and chocolates! Thank you for sharing this short treasure. Blessings my friend!
