About to be served
generic brands of road kill,
the dog donned his bib.

juliadebeauvoir · Wed Jan 30, 2008 11:56 am

The dog donned his bib,
licked his chops, took out a fork,
'Kitty A La King'.

Kitty A La King
with side of duck a l'orange-
a carnivore lunch

Travis · Wed Jan 30, 2008 5:32 pm

A carnivore lunch,
a wild one, consists of raw
meat chewed to the bone.

kozmikdave · Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:09 pm

Meat chewed to the bone -
result of blender diving.
Swith off, then retrieve!

thoke · Sat Feb 02, 2008 11:39 am

Switch off, then retrieve
clumps of thought and fantasy.
Untangle in sleep.

oranggunung · Sat Feb 02, 2008 10:22 pm

Untangle in sleep -
let not the grazing sheep stretch
imagination.

juliadebeauvoir · Mon Feb 04, 2008 6:41 am

Imagination
is a hot commodity.
Best with inflation.

barrie · Mon Feb 04, 2008 3:33 pm

Best with inflation -
the world of balloons, but not
the world of egos.

juliadebeauvoir · Mon Feb 04, 2008 6:02 pm

The world of egos,
likened to the world of eggs,
cracked and undercooked.

kozmikdave · Tue Feb 05, 2008 6:14 am

Cracked and undercooked
pottery below the soil
enriches our past.

juliadebeauvoir · Tue Feb 05, 2008 12:01 pm

Enriches our past,
bright beacons of the future,
kids are a blessing.

Elphin · Tue Feb 05, 2008 3:28 pm

Kids are a blessing
for which we must pay a tithe
for ever, Amen.

barrie · Tue Feb 05, 2008 8:21 pm

For ever, Amen -
How long's that going to take?
I've not got all day!

Lake · Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:00 pm

“I've not got all day!”
“You haven’t got what all day?
Would you specify?”

kozmikdave · Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:12 pm

Would you specify
who, what, when, where, your surprise
party details, please?

juliadebeauvoir · Wed Feb 06, 2008 2:28 am

Party details, please...
Who was there? Who wore what? What???
So glad I stayed home!

Lake · Wed Feb 06, 2008 5:17 pm

So glad I stayed home!
So was he away from home!
The strange bedfellows.

juliadebeauvoir · Thu Feb 07, 2008 11:20 pm

The strange bedfellows,
Could eat no fat, she no lean.
Jack Sprat and his wife.

kozmikdave · Sun Feb 10, 2008 3:48 am

Jack Sprat and his wife -
he, with gall bladder removed,
she, fat and jolly.

juliadebeauvoir · Sun Feb 10, 2008 4:02 am

She, fat and jolly,
Rubenesque,round pretty face,
goddess in her time.

Travis · Mon Feb 11, 2008 1:28 am

Goddess in her time,
at least to me anyway.
Beautiful creature.

Lake · Mon Feb 11, 2008 3:10 am

Beautiful creature
only in some people’s eyes
ugly in other’s

kozmikdave · Mon Feb 11, 2008 11:38 am

...ugly in other’s
opinions, but beautiful
in each other's arms.

Lake · Mon Feb 11, 2008 9:17 pm

in each other's arms
the vines twine around the tree
which leads them upward
