Poem

Deliberately over empty space pushed

Apposite adjectives, no-nonsense nouns

This Peony shapely and unrenowned,

Challenge to the smug, solace for the bushed.

Never to lighten the editor’s dark door,

Free to a good home or nearest offer

This Pomme, tasting of laughter and suffer,

Peals of after and swallowed to the core.

Letters bundled in a shoebox coffin

This Palm of lines gone all over the place

Asking the time and do you come here often.

This cost-free verbal that gets in your face,

Perm of curly questions the head extends,

This Phone-in of suggestions without end.
