He storms in frazzled, ranting peevishly:
office in chaos, missed deadlines, boss kept him late.
All for naught my efforts to soothe, placate…
Ding, ding!
Sea change: that first bite of pizza baked to a T.

#VSSPoem (12/3) ( @worded_art )
Llewellyn, that old axolotl,
sits cleaning his pipe of its dottle.
"A bottle, kind barman!
My thirst is alarmin';
if lager won't cure it, then what'll?"
— § —
Diving board tadpole: all hush—
hanging ten, quelling tears and fear
with stalwart resolve; the moment's near—
vaults off…
Bellyflop!—but what a rush!

Ready your four bits and a buck:
on the toasted breeze, the repetitive jingle
induces a joyous, anticipant tingle.
Amok,
kids scamper for the ice cream truck.

A UFO per witnesses' information
reported to a passing traffic cop:
glinting metallic blue, grey on top—
windswept,
turns out, from Kai's birthday celebration.
— § —
wants to show who's boss
storms in demanding, outraged—
I don't give a toss
— § —
houses in decline
faded paint
boards over windows

Ostracized! How still to stay in the loop?
I'll find some method yet to overhear;
or an ally or mole, a social buccaneer,
a snitch
who can be induced to leak the scoop…
