Pottery Corner 3

Countryside


The last ember’s slow glide
Long fingered patchwork cast deep
In the yolk of those western lines
In birch we lay, and dandelions
Dapples on our breath, eyes wide
“I’m game.” She said
So I shot her.


Lupe the Loop


My girlfriend has lycanthropic tendencies.
Which doesn't mean she's charitable.
It means she bites my head off.
Once a month.
When she's feeling iritable.

Darwin Was Right


I think my teddy bear
Might be a real bear
Because he ate my sister
I saw him twist her
And stuff her in his belly
Just like they do on telly
And now she’s dead
My little bed
Is more cramped than it used to be
When it was just me.

Got myself a walking, talking,
Eating, growling, living bear
Gotta do my best to please him
Just coz he’s
Carnivorous

Mum, can Sam stay over tonight?

Pullman

I told her I was a writer,
None of your lighter weight minds.
Mine's a white wine she said,
Adding that she didn't usually.
She said she loved to read,
It filled the need for finer times.
I asked her for a favourite line,
But she changed the subject.
