Have I mentioned an almond themed murder mystery poetry book?? Didn’t make it to the Villanelle 2023 challenge but I have finally finished it… in 2024 😅
What came first, the plant or the seed
Of this silly so-called nut?
What can this not-quite crunchy thing feed?
-
Hunger, for sure, but there is a darker deed;
Another feeling within your gut.
What came first, the plant or the seed?
-
A vengeance, a hatred, with which you must plead
Or else be stuck in a rut.
What can this not-quite crunchy thing feed?
-
This warning of an evil you must heed,
For every action will make a cut.
What came first, the plant or the seed?
-
When your gums start to bleed,
You have no strength left to strut.
What can this not-quite crunchy thing feed?
-
The object of bloodlust and greed,
Almonds in your teeth, you wonder what…
What came first, the plant or the seed?
What can this not-quite crunchy thing feed?
