Mystery Seeds

her biological clock was ticking fast 

but everything else was on lockdown

mail order had become her last resort

the sperm bank came to the rescue


mystery seeds arrived in her mail slot

she had not ticked all the small boxes

as she was an equal opportunity virgin

‘use freely and do not return to sender’


experimental design was the message

she prayed for immaculate conception

inserted the mixture of various donors

and awaited for nine Amazonian moons 


‘triplets oh my God’ the universe was kind

dissimilar skin tone and allusion to peace

Thank you Anne-Liese. I just could not write about poppies and cabbage. Life is too precious for that.

Your poem is amazing, Kai. Love the way it ends with three races blending into the same family. Maybe this is what it will take to achieve world peace. Congrats on a great win!

I already know you're bonkers in the best way possible.! Keen to rake through some more kooky verses from you. (so refreshing)! Cool idea, really hope it's a winner.

Thank you. I mostly enjoy my madness. Normality is boring and benigne insanity rather refreshing. Kind wishes, Kai
