Kathryn Collins Poet Rhyme

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

Carol Sunshine Brown January 25, 2012 at 10:52 AM I wish I had a better understanding on the forms of poetry so I could give you a clear confident comment on your writing Kathryn. I will tell you I do love reading poetry. I thank you for sharing yours today I enjoyed reading it. Love, Carol Kathryn Collins January 26, 2012 at 8:02 AM Hi Carol -- I doubt you are the only one around here who doesn't know the terms or forms. Been writing a long time and I don't either except a few. I'm glad you enjoy my poetry. love, Kathy
