I reside in Melbourne Beach, Florida. My joys include raising toddlers, writing poetry and dialogue, the beach, singing, storytelling, piano and reading. My writing objective is to challenge myself through rhyme and reason, or the lack thereof. By Brooke Ashley

Duck, duck, goose. Migratory roots are re-defined.
Filial Imprint (A Misprint)
The Sty that formed along my path
I carried your children, bearing
Connubial wrath
Dodging draws and duels
You lost, dirty Fool
Take a bath in that
Self-made, self-important
Station
Form a migration
Through stench of self
Stop honking
At me
At him
At them
You are the fat trimmed
From a life that has skimmed
The pool where you bathed
And floated
Self-made.
