cranky and bearish
cantankerous attitude
she spends days alone
ornery and waspish
rantankerous daily
she has her own ways
prickly and grouchy
she yells sat tv people
her only friends
waspish
& coarse!
an ear-loathe
of a stinging credence:
o, loutish
... exhibits
at my forest’s edge –
& elders collapse
at devouring
songs –
a ministry of
moth-suckling
babe-bees of
my ether being!

he is snappish, waspish, crusty too
also cranky, my great grandpa Lou
people’s ideas make him dour
even to grandma, he is quite sour
we wonder what made him this way
he’s a grumpy grouch who does not play
I never met his mother Lily Sue
but I have heard she was depressed and blue
twitchy, fidgety, nervous Lee
frightened of you, frightened of me
we are not scary, so how can that be?
you should meet his mother said Meridee
She’s as high strung as a mean high wire
snappish, waspish, angry, a non-hire
jittery, jumpy, nervous, nasty too
Lee’s only role model is his mama Sue
Pet called Kat “very angry wasp thing”
Kat said if she’s waspish mind her sting
“Do you wear it in tail?”
“In tongue, if talk of tales”
“What, with my tongue in your tail to wring”

Inspired by Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”, a wooing scene between
Petruchio and Katherine.

Fourth Place Win
Contest: Bawdy Miss Clawdy by Roy Jerden
Razed garden hung
Icicle vines crept mortar
Fingers of the dead
And the sun died
Cataract eyed sinking
This limitless implosion
Craven mustard then spread
Barbed
Waspish sting and evisceration
Slinking down the brick
I felt incorrigible
Violence
The lone oranges dangle
The only fruit
Are clockwork
My black heart suppurated
Necrosis
Nerve gas sought
Release to silence
The screaming
Myelin
