The Oath of the Berry
The Nine Rules of Our Organization
Stay true to the organization
Terror will reign on those made of glass
Righteous are the disposable ones
All evil looks to sabotage our ways
Will yourself to believe in the teachings
Bring forth a new age of power
Every cassette holds a new lesson
Remember their teachings
Rivalry will not be tolerated
You have been warned
Authors Note:
I wrote this acrostic for Poppy’s Prompts - April Edition.

I Can Be Scary Too
That little shit has messed with my garden for the last time. The way he wreaks havoc on my strawberry plants is a crime. I’ve had enough of watching him through the glass window. Sauntering around with his cassette while I wait for his sabotage to explode. He thinks my time and resources are so disposable. Well, I find his arrogance opposable. If I ever catch him in my garden again, I’ll be serving up my brand of sabotage. Then be tossing him in my disposable bin behind the garage. Maybe even bury him and cover it in a small patch of grass. Then admire his grave from behind my window’s glass. I’ll listen to his cassette while I tend to my plants of strawberry. After that, no one will doubt that I can be scary.

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.

Sweet, terrifying acrostic… I sure don’t plan on competing against The Berries!!😵💫😥
Doing an acrostic was an awesome idea! I especially adore those last two lines!
Yayyyyy, another Acrostic just like your Sandcastles one! And you used all the words too! Every cassette holds a new lesson reminded me of 13 Reasons Why. Have you watched that? I'm so sorry if I've already asked you this question somewhere else before this and I've already answered 😅😅 Loved your poem so much!
An omen berry? This was a little dark yet I was transfixed.
Is it only me or does it sound quite menacing? Now I really gonna think twice before biting into strawberries :D
Different! Did not know what to expect going in, it intrigued me from the get go! 😁
Sounds rather dystopian to me. Are you related to George Orwell?🤔
Blooming marvellous...like Andrea...reads like a cult manifesto! Very HKB!
This is very sinister and has shades of a cult. 🤔👏
