ARRESTED MOMENT
come to light
words in
flight
Tale of Supply and Demand
Some sloppy light has fallen down,
Where checkered mice drive kittens mad,
And all the cheese is owned by dogs
Who ride all night on giant slugs.
Into this pool of sloppy light
There slips a merman, small and slick,
Whose only flaw is eating toads
(He likes them raw and eats them whole).
The word is out, the toads lie low;
A crunching sound rewards the bold.
And when the merman’s had his fill,
He belches warts and slaps his tail.
Now toads make cheese that dogs must have
To keep the checkered mice enslaved
So they will drive the kittens mad
(This gives cats flavor slugs demand).
Unhappy slugs are not good mounts
And a walking dog’s a nasty grouch.
A plan was hatched among the mice;
They’d snag the merman late at night.
They greased a toad with tadpole jam
And placed him near the merman’s den.
The bait was swallowed hook and line;
The catch was scaled and poached in wine.
It’s fine for dogs to ride their slugs
And mice to drive the kittens nuts,
Just so we keep the truth at hand;
“The wise invest in tadpole jam”.

Beauty is something we see
with individual eyes,
deep within our soul,resides
attraction,waiting ,asleep
yet longing to be aroused;
Our need to be recognised,
a desire to recognise,
reciprocate and hold close
subtle scents,inherent and
so universally held;
A certain something unique,
intercourses between eyes,
a novel read by a glance
in seconds,might last a lifetime
indelibly imprints,love;
Only time,can reveal
imperfections of conceit,
when ego retreats and
aborts the frail foetus in
pools of recrimination.
Note
syllbic free verse style ,after Elizabeth Daryush
Is it hard to write a Fibonacci
back to front?
Let's just see if we can do one.
Hmm…few words left now.
Yes, well done.
Easy
One.
Oh?
