Poem of the Day

Mythologies

Abigail the Able Minded

drove a cart into the fields west
of town. The villagers saw her
as she found the lost calf
fed it, returned it to the flock.

Olbie the Obese

hungered for fame while still
in the womb. Inhaling whole realms
he paused to sketch a fork.
It was really nice
the remaining said.

Terrence the Terse

jerk.

Cerious the Furrow-browed poor speller

scrawled a note demanding
one denizen of eggs
and when the puzzled farmer
was brought before him
he again began to cry.
He insisted on writing his own
history which began:
"I fell god." This ensured
a handsome advance.

Hilarious the Glinting

made his enemies laugh
until their insides boiled.
He is necessarily storied.

Tacitus the Quick

"I" was all he ever said.
