Soot Case

I tossed

toiletries

–encased in make-up

kits,

I launched

Kindle books

–enwrapped in pleather pads,

I lobbed

carry on

–complete with shoulder straps,

I threw dirty duds

–drug through endless muck,

I pitched Samsonites

–along with broken wheel

I stole unchecked bags

–grabbed from carousel,

and spinning, I

ex-claimed–

lightened

but laden

(anew)

so chagrinned

to pass through gate,

and different sky

–lacking cap.

Now that’s a Club!

club

After making lots of

dough

I had bread,

and as I was the Biggest Cheese,

cheddar also abounded

–not to get all up in your grill about it, but

toast to that, right?

–down the old gullet

and with lettuce to spare,

I brought home the bacon,

–a task I didn’t relish, so

things got a bit dry

from there,

though the club

I founded subsequently

was no turkey.

just gravy

No tomatoes, either,

because who can afford seed?

 

Recency Effect

rat

Odds are

9 to 5

racing wears you down

but oh, the ribbon wrapping week

compels a rat to scuttle

cheesy reward, and convoluted,

–weak-end warriors needn’t play

only a strong finish applies–

amazing,

though it seems.

Cocktail Napkin Stuff

makeup

I killed my hair,

& made up a face,

Spanked my ass in gear…

with forward tilt,

I climbed on stilts,

uplifting where I peer.

with better view,

I added new,

spectacles to nose…

so rosy red,

they cleared my head,

& kept me on my toes.

with rings I couldn’t,

toe, and wouldn’t–

–line, but sought to please…

by wrote, I rhymed,

to honor line,

Uncrossing eyes & tease.
