Rose & Thorn Journal - Fall 2009
Terry
Zimmer works in software development
and enjoys writing poetry, songs, and some short fiction in his free time. A well-spent
Saturday morning is sitting outside a favorite coffee shop with a muffin,
notebook, pen, and dark brew, pouring words on paper.

Beakéd fingers snatch sweetmeat
swallowed whole in hand's fat cheek
Pecked and packed that no spare crumb
lay overlooked and left when done
Filled, the hand flies swift to mouth
disgorging store from open throat
Still unsated, hungry chirps
forbid a pause on brachial perch.
Snacktime at Mu Yang Di Children's Village
Beakéd fingers snatch sweetmeat
swallowed whole in hand's fat cheek
Pecked and packed that no spare crumb
lay overlooked and left when done
Filled, the hand flies swift to mouth
disgorging store from open throat
Still unsated, hungry chirps
forbid a pause on brachial perch.
