Where Brussels Sprout




Here is where the feeble poem
steams with asparagus spears

wafting pungent rhymes through my house
settle upon table tops
and sofa arms.

There, in a large sauce pan
I mix metaphors -
chop sentences and
and stir the imagination.

From a distance I hear,
“too many commas spoil the verse.”

Harsh reviews say
“I’ve had a bad spell.”

Oh sure, I’ll stew -
but in the end, when lids lay tilt
and Haiku's
I shall dance

where Brussels sprout.
