" adverbs "
Implausibly
Gracefully, smoothly she walks across the room
Which she has tidied efficiently, calmly and
stylishly
Effortlesly she sits down and turns on her laptop
Which starts silently,
speedily
Systematically she reads her emails
And replies to all issues promptly
and sensibly
Politely and responsibly
And above all -
not at all hysterically
" black sheep "
green sheep
I would be a green sheep in a green field
If I close my eyes you can’t see me at all
I can creep up, invisible, and POUNCE
Then run away and hide amongst some trees
Or do headstands - wave my tiny cloven feet
Around like leafy emeralds in the breeze
Or wander off - you won’t know that I’ve gone
Somewhere down the lane returning through
The same hole in the fence I used before
With sacks of turnips from the field next door
My fleece is useless to you - it would have
To go for bleaching to be suitable
For suiting though it might
Make mufflers for poachers in the night
A green sheep is the thing to be
I am Peritdotious, Cyanidic, Chlorian
I’m Vegetal and Lawnyfleeced and Turfed
I'm Viridian, Invisib ...
... le-in-fields.
I am Grasseous, Chromacious and Chartreuse
