My Honey
This was a poetry challenge - a twisted valentine
My Honey
(Valentine Challenge)
Dandelions and sweetbreads
are paltry proof
when all year long
he acts aloof.
He hunts all day
this clumsy brute
and barrels home
his horn a toot
bloody carcass
around his shoulders,
he bludgeoned it with a
jumbo boulder
In this black cave
I’m stuck all day
while beasts outside
devour their prey.
With my cro-magnon
cupid’s in trouble,
no match for us,
go shoot another couple.
Happy St. Valentine’s Day
