Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Free verse

TBI Rage and The Estrus Cycle

It’s not the inconvenience 
the drab of the monthly drape
nor the showtime red but

the play within the play
the horror flick
the creature feature 

The Swamp Bit**

The damaged frontal cortex 
with the inflammation hits 
Starring: The Amygdala!
“hormones laced with fists”

It’s been a psychological thriller
and it’s at its peak of suspense 
I am embracing the climax 
celebrating  

                    The End

Victor Buhagiar April 29, 2026 at 11:21 PM Using cinematic metaphors like a "horror flick," "creature feature," and "psychological thriller," the author portrays a sense of being a spectator to her own physical and emotional volatility. The poet is "embracing the climax" and celebrating "The End." Tough one Maureen. Peace be with you.

I hear they’re tasty, I haven’t tried it yet. xomo
