The undeniable bottom feeder reality,

Where irrational emoting ruled,

Blind of light’s revealing purpose. 

Such remained 
This well-rehearsed and...

It’s a Nineteen-Twenties tune—forgive me, I was born too soon,
Going to fake it anyway, and bring back yesterday.
Inka-dinka-do, that old soft shoe—and I danced with Georgia Brown.
Muskrat rag—“can you spare me a fag?”—
And the stock...

If only we could keep them,
Insulated from the world,
As protected as those first nine months,
When beneath our hearts they’re curled.

We would keep at bay, intruders,
Who would separate our child,
From the safety of our loving arms,
Where...

Short short story
Wit not whimsy


Very short takes
Crisp tale you make


Brisk word count here
Watch magic steer


Choice in brisk strokes
Mint poignant yoke

Flow in swift strides
Watch story glide


Finesse works zest
Micro tale quest
