Guardian, though small
impish he may be, but
my
little rascal
is also snuggly.

Sassy cat, not quite
orange, more the color of whisky,
purrs when I scratch her from
head to tail.  She
is a spoiled princess
even though she was a stray.

Pomegranate Seeds


Pomegranate Seeds

A succulent crimson berry
I place upon my tongue,

"crunch".

A burst of sweet tartness
detonates in my mouth,

dribbles

down my chin, stains my white shirt.
Mom's not going to be

happy.

Oh well, I've nothing to lose,
and you only live once.

"Sploosh"!
