Hallow's Edge




Today over at Poets United, the poetry prompt is WICKED!   I immediately thought of the Wizard of Oz.  I had a love, hate relationship with the witch, when I was young.  I hated how she scared me, but I was intrigued by her make-up and laugh.  I can do the laugh...and maybe when my cold is gone I will shock you someday and post a vimeo.  It will be a hoot, since I have a New England accent with some southern drawl.   But for now my pretties, it is just a poem....

Green with envy
I see you
digging your grave
with a spoon
caved 
like a troll
I
attacked 
a bowl
of Mint Chocolate madness
piling it high
ice SCREAMED later
when I had
to burn 
off the
glycogen horror
of my evil
ways...
so wicked gooooood
I cackled as
I climbed aboard my
indoor bike
riding past the midnight
hour
in the chill of sweet memories
I would 
do it
again
I did it for a slutty brownie
and I would
do it for you
my wintergreen cousin
kiss me
again!
Before I turn into a 
plump toad!


Do you like my freckles? ...Picmonkey made me over.  You want to see what my daughter made?  You will remember I altered her, lol. 






Revenge is dish, best served cold... muWHhahaha
Oh, I think there is still some Minty, green goodness left....
Happy Halloween my pretties!

Yes, Ella some foods are worth suffering for indeed. Food can be so wicked.
The pictures are awesome! What's wrong with freckles? I just might sport a few of those.

This was just THE BEST! I love your made-over image. Your daughter takes after you, with her artistry. Loved the poem.
Janine Bollée said…
Those coal-blacked eyes make you look ever so wicked.
Hope you can get back to coldfree cackling soon.
And keep of the sugar fix.

This narrative is BRILLIANT! from the green envy to falling off the wagon and back to addiction. I believe she would do it for the mint, but the brownie is the best. Ride that bike swiftly and furiously. As for me, I am getting quite comfortably round.
