Saffa Jaffas spill like Seville

If you don’t play the big three

There’s no way

You should be seen

In the final of the WTC


That’s what’s been heard

Mean baggie greens

Have a word

Indians chagrin din

Baby Dragon

...The dragon was a cute little fellow
He was small and green and kind of mellow.
We had fun with him as he grew larger
Until he burned down our house and larder.
Then, the dragon was not cute any m...

Vivares

...Death constantly begs for a bit of you,
for just another small bite.

From the crib to the grave
death begs for morsels.
It is a house dog
its purpose
is to guard the larder.

Patched up lim...

Twilight curls her lips shyly this foggy morning

Gone is the twinkling of her pearly white spring

Gone are the greedy songbirds herded away

Their perches now bare of whim and whimsy

...Joan
She sits in the gloom of her freezing cold room
A room she can’t heat anymore
Her larder is bare but she never goes there
For she doesn’t eat anymore

Her late husband’s medal lies ...

Is it about time I turned a corner, 
And mix with more friends and not be a loner. 
Grow with confidence push myself harder, 
Nourish my body with trips to the larder.

ODE TO MONEYLENDERS

...ODE TO MONEYLENDERS

Oh, what designs can one possess
Lending succour to those with naught
Such desperate need one must confess
And how hard one must have fought

Where the Cans Are

...Alone and hungry
left leg aches like a broken peg
in the mugginess of its left slipper.

Not a good day for fixing anything
but the sealed and over salted,
the quickly warmed and spooned

Early Morning Walk

...A solitary child really,
Shotgun under arm,
Wandering the flood plains 
On Billy Bulson’s farm,
Hammer uncocked, 
Chamber free of charge 
Enjoying the sensation 
Of wandering at large.

It never let up, kept falling and falling
The drifts were getting higher and higher
The wind chill was getting lower and lower
It was brutal outside, wasn’t it?

...She carries home onions in a string bag.
She walks in time-dinged tweed and wilted woolens
She is of age and does not count her days.
She knuckles cords of twisted tendons.
She treads low-heeled ...

Prepping For Spam

...He blunders around grocery stores.
Impulse buying - compelling.

Back home
he looks at the bagged,
wonders why,
wonders
if he will also charge around
tomorrow.

The larder, the pantry

Fish For Lunch

...Fish for lunch

For breakfast, I opened a tin of sardines in oil
I don’t care for any fish, but it was all I had in the larder
My mother used to work at a canning factory
