You seduced me with paella
smelling like the sea
you said you weren't a siren
but it was hard to believe
You left no trace of being human
more a gift from the Gods
when you left my warm embrace
I began to feel your loss

I had a book, A Girl On Each Knee
( #Paella is a knee without the t).

I bought it, twice.
Unread. Lost both.

The lesson is:
Don't rely on me to re-heat rice.

Today - 20th September - is World #Paella day 🥘

So #Poetry, #prose, #artwork all about rice is on the menu I think!!!
And if it's about paella even better.

It's not a #mantaray, but it is the first photo that comes up in my camera roll when I search 'manta'. I think it must be the shape. A visual simile. At least it's by the sea (not seen).

ravaged by a wanna-be pirate
my goodness, what a big sword!
challenged to plunder my ample booty
in order to get his reward ;)

it isn’t really poetry
I wouldn’t be that bold
just sometimes thoughts start to rhyme
when there’s a story to be told

I’ve learned it isn’t all about me
which I guess I already knew
but along the way I’ve also learned
it isn’t all about you

I'm reposting this poem for #SomethingEveryday #Pirate which apparently also works for #PoetsOfDoom #prompt although I can't remember exactly what form @daveashleypoet.bsky.social specified that I dubbed "Ashlean" 😆

@sonnetsmith.bsky.social I still hope to plunder some prose...

not even pirates
would try to take Greenland
idiots

Early in the pandemic, I bought a “spring edition” of Rice Crispies that featured some green and blue crispies. Since all was snow and mud outdoors, I planned to boost our spirits by making them into cakes, shaped as flowers. I had never made them before.

#RiceCrispyCakes
melted marshmallow
butter and cereal
pressed into a pan
a staple of childhood
that I pass on
to my own children

if corn flakes were invented by Kellogg
to discourage masturbation
then explain rice crispy cakes
and what kind of shenanigans
snap crackle and pop
were getting themselves into
just sayin’

The pinnacle of
Birthday treats, Rice Crispy cakes,
Chocolate coated.
