Haiku & Other Poetry, Random Rants, tutto e niente

the return of the exiled wannabe king

Tina Stewart Brakebill

rough like bark and brush

babbling water turns putrid

as the snake returns

with false speech and slight of hand

his rap still charms the sparrows

Just Following Orders

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Its big eyes just stared unblinking for a minute. “What do you call yourself?” the Fawn said at last.

Its tone surprised me. Such a soft sweet voice it had! Oozed like honey. Regret briefly crossed my mind. I pushed it back. “Doesn’t matter.” I replied. “I’m just following orders.”
