Whether held close to chest or chained to belt,

Be aware the hand your scrippage has dealt—

For if it holds any edible bite,

Parrots perching to pocketing just might. ; )

Regarding recents of love, I had been bent way beyond tired,

So steely self was cautious about feeling again desired;

First date’s anticipation left emotive senses quite wired—

Until pawky present of posies sparked heart’s state to up-fired. ; )

Deck covered as a yeanling’s fluffest coat,

Gelid, unfrozen lake sans any boat,

Chairs’ pair lost or long gone without a note—

Milieu now home to winter’s camo stoat. ; )

Cumberless company

Craft curiosities—

Coccoid chatoyancies. ; )

Hopes to feed these quackers crackers will most certainly defail

As no type of crumbled bread will entice twitches from a tail—

For here’s snootiest of vegan ducks only nosh freshest kale

And, blind as bats, of course, as well, need din’s menu a la Braille. ; )
