A quizzical glance,
ivory bosomed virgin’s perfume excites
the virile knave dressed as a knight.

VSS: Creme Brulee
With a lick of the spoon,
your toes curl.
The taste on your tongue,
your senses heighten.
The warmth down south,
the feeling builds.
With the last spoonful of Creme Brulee,
you climax and fall off the chair.
Annoying Ads
Watching the
repetitious ads,
and the
annoying jingles.
You paralyse
our minds with
the stupidity
on the screen.
Fed up, we only
watch ad-free
reality television.
Watching a show
about miniature
goats going on
celebrity dates.
Very Short Story: Home Office
A cool breeze moves through me, touches my skin, and moves me to feel the chill of the air.
I must stop for a few moments; work has become omnipresent, and nature calls me to feel.
Scents linger from outside and inside; I sniff the air in wonder and admiration for prosperity.
A dog keeps barking down the hill; I hear the illegal rooster telling everyone how annoying the chickens can be.
Very Short Story: A Fledgling
Rosy glasses,
the world looks
beautiful & bright.
The city lights,
dazzling opportunities
to make cash, be famous.
Beautiful,
a youth with beauty &
virginal naivety on your side.
A Fledgling,
you learn to fly through
many attempts and mistakes.
Many fell;
you remain.
Very Short Story: Cafe of Feelings
“This is the cafe of feelings.”
“We buy feelings.”
“I have feelings.”
“Are you sure? Come with me…”.
“Lining up, they wait and watch the people order in front until it’s their turn.”
“I want a few dollops of sadness, happiness, and anger.”
“I’ll have the same. This’ll be fun”.
Very Short Story: The Snarl
Spring is on the wind, flowers begin to bloom, and the day is new.
Walking to remember the Winter you cannot forget, walking to shed some of the much-loved Winter calories.
Passing by a new neighbour, the dog greets you with a smile and the neighbour a snarl.
Very Short Story: Examination
Dressed in simple cotton robes, six gathered around the point of examination.
They hesitated. All were too afraid to touch such a foreign-looking living thing.
Braver than the others, one touched a branch a thumb. All followed, touching the last two trees.
Very Short Story: Exhume
The professionals arrived to exhume bodies from an ancient grave.
The digging begins, and the bodies form a circle; in the middle sits the objects of worship, a large bag full of Tupperware.
Around the bodies, they find brochures, order forms, teacups, and a teapot.
The Anthropologist says, “I believe this was an MLM gathering“.
Very Short Story: Naked
The full sunlight on a late Summer’s day warms the house.
There is a feeling of change, for the sun is setting earlier, and a cool breeze touches the lounge.
Chloe feels the breeze move along her naked skin as she relaxes on a Saturday afternoon with a coffee and a book.
