daisy poems Poems

don’t kiss the peaches

don’t handle the spinach
it wilts
don’t kiss the peaches
they bruise
don’t push your peas around
they’ll roll right off the plate
don’t snack on a heart
it’s not good for your health
and drums know the rhythm of a drumstick
you only need one small flame in your heart
to keep it turned on and open
– the last person to kill a sailor by lighting a cigarette from a candle also thought it was just a myth
