Socially abhorrent
Latent adolescence lingering
With no apparent value
Used all too frequently
Western decadence imploding
The “f” word’ll do us in:
Fast food will kill us all.

The "f" word - By Charli Wiggill
reading - by Charli Wiggill
forests of words create
unique landscapes
turn a page and new vistas
appear
crafted by worldly wise
wordsmiths
who plant twigs of phrases
and
graft splints of clauses
fine trees emerge
tall and strong
branches of detail in
different directions
now and then cones of
fruitful information
and regenerative seeds of
truth
forests inhabited by small
buckpuns,
creepy similes and squishy
metaphors
coloured by exotic birds
flashing wit and
twittering, indigenous shrubs
of irony
peopled by forest folk full
of alliteration
as time passes and the tree
matures
more subplots spin webs in
the leaves
characterisation nests in its
branches
lichen grows on our psyche,
and
climaxes leave issues even
less resolved
