Salad Poetry

She hid in a salad
far from toast
waiting for a tomato that meant tomorrow
a crouton to save today
somewhere by the last sunflower seed
a shard of asparagus waited.

Questioning the Moonheads:

"You Moonheads put a lot of stock in harmony, don’t you?”

“We follow the way of the moon and strive to live by its example. When was the last time the moon got angry?"

There’s a strange killing at the Volcano Lounge in my mystery comedy Murder in Murk City: “I don’t care how many suckers you’ve lured into your shady eruption racket, Muggett. Not even the smell of burning magma can cover the stench of this killing.” bit.ly/3MoHq5u #kindle #kindleunlimited #booksky

Margaret Muggett answered the door as if she’d been expecting someone else, like a swinging lounge singer with a weekend reservation in an exclusive Las Vegas penthouse. Her hair was done up in tightly rounded rolls, like a small stack of glamorous brunette baguettes. shorturl.at/2HaZK #booksky

4 out of 5 stars to Other People by Martin Amis. In this virtuoso writing performance, Amis puts the reader in the mind of a young woman recovering from amnesia. Unfortunately, she quickly falls in with a series of shady characters in London. Recommended! #booksky #fiction #novels #amis

Shakespeare’s not the only one who can write good insults:

“You moving dirt, you rank stark muck o’ the world, you oven-bats, you things so far from souls, like dogs, you’re out of Providence’s reach, and only fit for hanging” – John Dryden, The Duke of Guise #quotes #booksky #dryden
