Premium Member Mr Mustard Comes Tonight
Rig rag Shaggy rag Rip, rip, rip, Wrinkle in the water A wilder whisper Crepuscular crème brûlée. What is madness really? Have I not a wordly thought? Wordly jumble, Words, words, words, Coherent as a Dostoevsky mumble. Musing wrists and elbows in a swaddle, Up of green and purple trumpets, Sickly technicolour cuddle. Circadian bunny pudding. Hullo, there it is again! I saw it there, just there! Did not. But...

Premium Member The Mustard Seed
The smallest of seeds falls and amalgamates with the earth. Amidst dust to dust, mist, manure, and moisture gain rebirth. Leaf evolution, stem elongation, and florescence With sun-lit yellow blooms, it reaches its adolescence. Like a vulture, it spreads its wings of bold bushy branches. Towards giving rest to birds of all kinds, it advances. From a wheatish tone, the colour...

Premium Member The Mustard Seed
Tiny! Chocolate grain! Medicine for the mind and heart! In nature's senses of flavours, doesn't this play a part? Didn't it look granule-like when you the Trinity sowed? It grew like your kingdom, sheltering the humble and proud. Calming the heartache, stilling the mind, strengthening the bones The shrub grown out of the mustard seed withstands all cyclones. Dead in summer!...

This sandwich is destitute And the dijon has expired A miraculous vision appeared to me, a gentle lady One who gloriously gazed on my face What is the life of but Art and Science? The Shepherd's Dream? When there are no living to remember the dead. God knew of the culpability The rearrangement of kitchen condiments The kitchen being a...

Mustard Seed Size Faith
The garden of your dreams, it contains reality’s seeds, Potential flowers of success or many a failure’s weeds. Due to the thoughts we choose, doubt or fear will loom, The mind is the husbandman; seeds of faith it’ll bloom. No need for a giant sequoia, not even a towering pine, Only humble mustard seed faith, inspired by the divine. Quite small...

Premium Member Mustard Yellow
Canada is afire and I’m confused, shouldn’t the snow put that out? The Boston sky is an interesting shade of mustard yellow, and there’s a pale orange haze where the sun should be. Lisa, drowsily asleep-walked into the kitchen for her morning coffee. “So this is Mars,” I observed, “Elon Musk will be so jealous.” “Good,” Lisa said, “I...

Mustard Seed, Mustered the Courage To Write
It is not just a mustard seed, It is associated with smell, sights, people and memories, Crackling mustard seeds and curry leaves, In the pan filled with hot-oil, Mother shouting to keep the tin back in place, In the rack where it belonged, Memories of time spent with my mother in the kitchen, Food was always a way to the heart, Mustard was...

From Mustard Seed Did Grow
I saw a little tree today, from mustard tree did grow. For when i was but a toddler, I stood three feet below. And by the little tree today, two squirrels chasing tails. And as I stepped by closer, they ran up it's wooden scales. Above the little tree today, a large bright feathered bird. With wingspan of a tennis court, colour of lemon curd. Inside the...
