Fitting, since I did just see a real toad on the walkway in front of my house.
Today's challenge: 'So, your task is to write from the point of view of someone who is seeing reality through a distorted lens."
And here it is, if it qualifies. I have no idea where it came from.
OH
oh
it's you again
you
coming here
again
i did not invite you
here
to fling your fervid finger dance
on my hilltops
to slyly slither your stealthful
wending way
along my hedge row
nor play your probing game of sinking
for a short while
into my silent secret bog
a short while
too short
too short
and look at you
how you thrash and flail
spewing ragged steamy breath spasms
until that final gasp
when you heave your heavy ploughman's sigh
oh
are you still here
alright then
kiss me if you must
you must
no
not there
there
yes there
yes
more deeply
yes
there
oh
oh
OH

Afterthought: after reading Hedgewitch's entry, it occurred to me that this might also be about the incubus. A new and intriguing slant, perhaps.
Ha, a great way to escape the "bluesy news" of the present day.
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile. Good one!
ReplyDeleteA succubus for sure... it's not a dream (I promise)
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness. Made me think of Ada Doom and her "I saw something nasty in the woodshed" but I don't know what made me think that...
ReplyDeleteHmm, perhaps a case of protesting too much?
ReplyDeleteHa! Very clever. k.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you again! Playing hard to get, just a little too hard?
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you in the garden again!
ReplyDeleteA clever twist to the prompt, Jazzy! Nice to see you back!
