Attack 

Like you've been hit by
an arrow, swift and cutting,
Hymn of waves rising,
shark in the deep, silent hunt,
wicked teeth gleam in moonlit calm.

Blessings of the Middle-aged Woman, the Dandelion and the Crow

To be blessed

said the Middle-aged Woman

is to cast off the weight

of societal expectations

refuse to press your roundness into

identical cookie cutter perfection  

To be blessed

said the sunny dandelion

is to embrace your

transformational nature

you’re sun, you’re moon

and with full exhale you’re stars

To be blessed

said the crow

is to decide yourself

what blessings look like

no coveting or delaying

make your own miracles

The question seldom addressed is where Medusa had snakes. Underarm hair is an even more embarrassing problem when it keeps biting the top of the deodorant bottle.

Embarrassing Problems

Perusing the aisles

in Tesco. Aerosol or

roll on? The hissing

serpents wheeze when particles

are sprayed, a toxic hazard.

Trolley boys duck and

cover, so potential for

five fingered discount!

Emboldened, sinful serpents

Indicate Sure Cotton Dry.

 

Medusa, ponders

the problems of single-use

plastics and wonders

how hard it might be to make

your own? Vows to Google search.
