I wish that I was
Someone whose spaghetti fits
Neatly in the pan.

Occasional Terrible Poetry: An Exceptionally Poor Contribution To (The Brilliant) National Poetry Month
Posted in Beautiful New Railway Bridge, tagged beautiful new railway bridge, cassandra parkin, national poetry month, occasional terrible poetry, salt publishing on October 15, 2011| 2 Comments »
My publishers*, Salt, posted this fabulous poster for National Poetry Month on their Facebook newsfeed. It’s part of a gorgeous, funny, clever campaign that the creative team clearly had loads of fun with. I would personally like to buy the t-shirts of pretty much all of them.

Vampires used to be bad
A fantastic Victorian fad
But then Edward and Bella
Became a best-seller
And now the whole thing makes me sad. 😦
*If I live to be a hundred and ninety-eight million billion years old, it’s faintly possible that I may finally get tired of the phrase “my publishers”. But it won’t happen before that.

Written to The Prompt: A Limerick With The First Line, “There Was A Young Man From Vancouver”
There was a young man from Vancouver
Who didn’t understand limericks, like, at all.
On the other hand
He was quite good at Haiku
But, no-one liked them. 😦

You know, what that report clearly needs is a bad haiku, as follows:
Jar of nastiness
What the hell do you contain?
Better not to know.Â
