Lilypad Letters

Karen Robiscoe is my favorite ayuthor ever in all time bar none it doesn't get any better

Beauty & the Beast

–well, to say the least…

was Beauty a bit better,

say?

with a Beast,

less lettered?

hey

not a letter-jacket

guy…

or arts & crew neck sweater

guy…

or even Beast who catches

flies!

No, I fear I have digressed…

Beauty’s better

with the

Best.

DL Book Burning

you look a little blue...

you look a little blue…

Berry lies

about libraries

verified

& vile,

very

bibliophile must

then be-wary

where you find

this poison fruit…

poised with

juicy root-toot-toot

since staining books is so uncouth.

Alice

eXactly how

she seemed

to be

under tomes

of subterfuge…

if you read ruse

& don’t confuse

the uThink

for thinkShe…

It’s all write

~there~

between the space

of

*instant*

comprehension…

before that pause,

within the clause,

of breathing words

that mention–

sow pure of heart

it seeds the mind!

til Spirits grow

thru kisMet

not knavery

just bravery

impelling sum of writ.

grapes can

press into wine

& whine…

swill-dry-drop raisin

-hell’s fine

just fine…

smash into jam

that don’t bind

or grind…

yet clustered

and clumped

on the vine?

¿ di Vine?

they sour a vintage

to brine

each time.

Narration’s nascence

CHARRONs CHATTER dba Karen Robiscoe

writers differ

from other folk,

scribblin’ scripts

or writing notes,

~gath’rin bits~

from seen & spoke,

like shoppin’ trips

they fill up totes,

stashin’ chits

until they’re wrote,

a lively mix

of grafted quote,

a pot luck meal

& patchwork throw,

a zillion things

in mind afloat,

from fully loaded

Bellum boat,

from near & far

or more remote

 + plus +

* magic wand*

to right what’s rote.
