Like a Strawberry

...Like a strawberry.

That he'll encounter a tasty beast to munch
Finding an inedible Prey
with fear he roars go away!
Then runs to seek a more suitable lunch...

Im Like an Instant Pot

...I’M LIKE AN INSTANT POT

I’m like an Instant Pot.

We’re both big and bold.
Heavier than we should be
Fussier than we need be
Neither of us should ever 
Sit on the kitchen counter 
When not ...

The First Murder

...The First Murder
"Both of you son's of mine,
    Bring me the fruit and wine!"
Like a cheetah stalking it's prey,
   My brother and I raced outside.
To please our father's heart,
    Not out of...

Scones

...Baking scones has been
The absolute bane of my life
Fifty-five years I’ve spent
Its caused me nothing but strife 

Up and down the country
You’ll find them in any café
Soft, light and beautifu...

Owl Outa Luck

...view incredible
                            owl swoops mouse - concrete stands still

The Faerie Ring

...In an Elysian wood,
flitting faeries
among the trees
ponder their
magical seeding,
for a fairy ring
they’ll build,
within the greenwoods
emerald sea.

Moss-laden ferns
feathery ...

Sayyidina Ali

...Mockery law spoofed boycott,
Survived the beast of a desert tooth.
Hunger answered by inedible dinner goth.
Skin and bones as the cloth.
 
Under sieged bloodthirsty pavement,
There are no rules...

A Noble Tree

...The heavens shimmer 
as billowy linen-white gossamer clouds slip away, as soft blossoms open for the sun.

Mystical wings of Eden brush sunset colors; 
caress the rose petal; touch the lustrous c...

Sweets

...Our love was so tasty and sweet
now it's sour and inedible. 

I should have chosen another 
selection of sweets.

Instead I chose a mesmerizing 
unpredictable bit size....

generations of lopsided layers

teetering atop the stale and dried out.

not my heart.
They’re 
democratically undemocratic.
