Perplexing Problem Poetically Pondered
A Playful Tautogram of Humorous Wit
Perplexing problem posed before me,
People ponder, what could it be?
Perhaps a puzzle, or a pun,
Perplexing problem, much undone.
Proudly presenting my proposal,
Pithy, pointed, without disposals,
Perplexing problem promptly solved,
Pandemonium no longer involved.
Proudly proclaiming my wit,
Providing pleasure, bit by bit,
Punchlines poured profusely out,
Perplexing problem, now in drought.
Plenty of possibilities, all prime,
Pleasing the people every time,
Perplexing problem, not to fear,
Proposed solution, now quite clear.

I shouldn't
I shouldn't be here. not if you're not here. I miss you more than I can ever get used to. It's not enough to express in any sort of structural sense. Missing you is like missing me. Missing you like a lost exhale that's stolen from me. Missing us is like losing my heartbeat.

The Harvest
Koyi wobbled to her shabby wood and straw kaz, holding her machete and an old burlap bag with some yams. Someone had laid another basket in front of the patched up door—rose apples today. They were a bright reddish pink, looking waxy and crisp, just the way she liked them. The culprit knew her very well. Those would be crunchy, juicy and sweet—she could tell—but she gathered all the will she could muster and pushed the basket aside to enter her home. She had already said no repeatedly and would not be taking bribes.

Wow that had such an amazing rhythm. I kind of go this back and forth feeling between problem and solution. And overall a great and rhythmic read!
