‘The Delicate Peas’ & ‘Time Flies... Slowly’

Annette Young is indebted to the glints of writing that have now entered her life as a tool to hone aspects of joy. Teaching also silhouettes such aspects. Her hope is to continue these embryonic writing encounters so that they become daily fixtures of exploration that are a fulfilling meal that sample various glimpses of daily observations in organic life transactions. She has had the fortune to have a piece of poetry entitled, Swooped, published in From Whispers To Roars Volume 5 Issue I, as well as Spectacle Of Spectacles, published in The Write Launch. She was also graced with the occasion to have her short fiction work, Utensils, published in an anthology entitled, Below The Poverty Line.

The Delicate Peas

The Delicate Peas—

charging.

Puttin’ up their dukes

sweatin’ scents and

knocked up against the rounding walls

of scratched iron ropes

holding all the burden.

An enclosed load:

trailing

down

down

to a scraped iron bottom

baring the eye of a silver abyss

staring up a disapproving lid

hijacked from another vessel

sizzling shots of oil

punching and staining the o p e n air.

Can’t get no type of handle on it!:

The punches, stains, and sizzles—

hollerin’ and fingerin’ insults,

now sticking to surfaces.

Underneath, candy corn flames

spittin’ shades of cornflower blue

instigate a heat of confessions.

Peas testify in clusters ‘stead of one by one

causin’ all that troubled water

to pop-up speech bubbles

exhaling streams of cuss words

theys regret soon as theys say ‘em

so—

they make ‘em repent &

‘vaporate all that smoke

in to the thin air.

Time Flies... Slowly

Blank pages eat space

migrate reams of time southward

nest waste without haste.
