Caterpillar

The

Caterpillar

Has too

Many

Legs

They Wobble

All

Over

The place,

Bumbling along

And eating

Lettuce

Like

They think

A healthy diet

Will make

Them

Beautiful

Or give them

Wings

Or something.

 

 

 

Dragon Tails

 

Dragon tails

Swish like cats’

At play, they’re just

Bigger, and excitable

Dragonlings

Tend to make

A whole lot more mess.

It’s like small fire breathing scaled things

(who are bigger than houses)

Falling all over the place and shooting flames

Are perhaps

A little bit

Of a liability.

 

 

 

Snowglobe

 

The flakes fall,

As light and sharp

As papercuts

Freshly milled,

On our little home in the forest.

We know,

That whilst the snow

Keeps falling,

In our little world,

We are safe, for a while,

From the shaking.

I’m putting all this up for the love of writing and your enjoyment, and if you would like to use it for your own purposes that would be awesome. However, it’s my writing, and I must ask you to ask me first, and credit me (obviously). Also, if you do I’d really love to see/hear/watch it!

If you’d like to support me, on a monthly basis, then i’d love you forever, and feel free to sign up for my patreon here – i’ll link the blog to here whenever I post something new, as well as a few extra snippets just for patrons (so extracts of WIP larger projects etc)

If you would also like to help me keep putting things up for free, and support my writing but would rather not do monthly donations, my paypal is:

paypal.me/henrythorpe

Share, like, comment, critique, spread the word(s) and thankyou for visiting my page, you’re all wonderful.

I’ve also done recordings of several of my poems and stories, which are available on soundcloud here
