Draw me!
Capital T
Stood tall and strong,
Below huddled a and p—
A gripping hand
Turned the top of T,
And p began to drip.

Back Soon! by Louise Molloy
Leave a commentBack Soon!
He stands before the dragon
And sidles closer still,
No fiery breath nor fury greets him,
But eyes half-shut
And scales dull grey,
The dragon lets its tongue loll
And splutters loudly, ENTER!
He climbs each quiver
Of its quivering tongue
And peers into its dark, dark mouth,
WHAT BEASTIES LURK THAT KILL MY FLAME?
He peers down its dark, dark throat,
“I’ll need my weapons to cure your ill.”
NO VEGETABLES!
“No worries, I’ll be back soon.”

The Best Dog in the Universe by Louise Molloy
Leave a commentThe Best Dog in the Universe
Found in a quarry
Of origins unknown,
Turbo is his name – he is
TURB-tastic, TURB-acious, TURB-iffic!
A tail-chasing tornado,
An explorer of backyards, own and other,
A maker of many friends – he is
TURB-tastic, TURB-acious, TURB-iffic!
A lover of sticks and twigs in fact
Branches of any kind, hurled or lobbed,
An Olympic canine paddler – he is
TURB-tastic, TURB-acious, TURB-iffic!
Stretched out on the terrace watching the stars
He protects, a snake-alert cat alarm,
Waiting for snacks, for pats and to play – he is
TURB-tastic, TURB-acious, TURB-iffic!
