Hello Neville!
Thank you! 😀 I think it’s the illustration that attracted your attention, that’s why you started from the end 😀
Mummy Issues, part I and II, are exceptions in my portfolio, usually I write spy and detective novellas (which I will add later).Al

I have a lot to catch up…ugh, why can’t I be two people in one? Oh, are they all short standalone stories, or an ongoing series? The tags on them are different.

Hello Kay!
There is a part 1 and 2 of the Mummy Issues series, each novella containing 10 chapters. So, this is the 10th chapter of Mummy Issues II. Sorry if the tags are a little confusing, it’s confusing for me, too LOL I’m new here, so I have to figure out how the site works 🙂
So, if you want to read Mummy Issues II from the beginning, you should start with chapter 1 OUTLAW.Al

Read MoreA quiet morning,A cup of tea,A gentle breeze,And I am free. A birds sings,A lovely tree,A dog barks,And I am free. Somewhere in this quiet space,A monster hides away,Eat it must and so it does,Reveal its tortured face. The mind begins,The chatter...

Okay, mon frere, my competitor, I see you have entered this Morning Coffee contest. Yours is lovely, then brutal, and in the end, bleak. Mine is cute, brutal, and in the end, funny. But mine has a secret ingredient: Coffee. Oh, I know, the rules say coffee OR tea are the liquids we honor — but MINE is COFFEE, and COFFEE is in the name of the contest, so I WIN! >THWEETT< (THAT'S A CARTOON inspired spitting action) So I win! hahahaHA! (that's a sarcastic laugh) Beside, Mine is about a cat and no one can tell a cat it's a loser and not be despised the rest of his life. Of course you can quit now (he said slyly) and save yourself the embarrassment of losing to a cat! (notice how I made the cat both powerful AND weak! How clever! Bonus points! Nice work though, BDB(P)

I didn’t count syllables but each line flowed flawlessly. You have a talent for rhyme, that’s for sure. I wrote something similar years ago about Brier Rose but it didn’t go over well. I think people are suspicious of rhyming poems these days with the advent of A.I.
I hope you get more comments. Great writing.

Thanks Tim! I usually just write random lines and thoughts, but this one took a quite a few days of careful crafting (and a lot of RhymeZone help, haha.)
I agree about AI poems… I think I’m getting pretty good at spotting them, that they have certain markers that repeat again and again. My former poetry site seemed overrun with them over the last year or so.
I appreciate the kind words, and that you like these oldy-timey sounding ones as I do!

Thank you! I always feel trepidatious with these rhyme and tight rhythm-schemed poems, that they’ll sound too contrived, or lose the emotion in the crafting. Thank you so much for reading, and, again, for your always overly generous comments!!

Very muchly enjoyed from one end to t’other .. I guess I should have started at the beginning of what I imagine is an ongoing story but I wanted to see where you are coming from & now of course have some idea .. Kindest of regards & all good things, my new found multi-lingual literary friend .. Neville
