Well, it's Thursday, so let's have some poetry #VerseThursday :

here's a poem from my Small Bodies series that appeared in Whale Road Review: "3018 Godiva"

"National Bird Day" gives me a good excuse to post this limerick about an aggrieved roommate:

“I’m sick of your cockatiel’s turds!
Plus it bit me again!” — angry words
From a roommate, unmuffled,
Whose feathers were ruffled.
“I’m moving. Your pet’s for the birds!”

Happy "International #Cello Day"

My beau plays the cello. His bow
Makes the loveliest music I know.
I love him, I think,
But my mother, a shrink,
Says I won’t, once I’ve heard Lorne Munroe.

MELLANDAGAR

These in-between days, limbo place
Of chocolates, cheese and doubt,
I know not what is time or space,
Nor when the bins go out. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is going to be my first #VerseThursday :)

Try my very queer, very Jewish, very Biblical poem "The Prophet, To His Angel" in Fantasy Magazine earlier this year -

"You’re my angel; Biblical
wheels within wheels, skin taut over
the bone cage of your structure,
myriad eyes gleaming with a fire
of letters on parchment."

As, it happens, written on a Thur in September. Despite pools and frogs, not a haiku, but trying for similar juxtaposition in a very compressed form (#7wordsPoet), and #imagism
