1457



see! across the street
a pomerac tree laden
ants eat fallen fruit

~every gust of wind rife with cliches~

i sashay my hips
knocking at his door to fetch
a cup of sugar

--gillena cox

Nice that you tried the puente, Gillena! Hope you get that cup of sugar, and maybe an invitation to coffee too.

Hats off for attempting the puente! Well penned!

brudberg said...

oh yes.. there is always a good reason to fetch a cup of sugar

rallentanda said...

Ha I like this one. Sashaying the hips as a prelude to borrowing a cup of sugar. Good luck! Rife wirh
cliches is good too.
