The Shadow Box Tells a Story
using this tiny deck
my cat could play euchre
with Gus Gus
in Cinderella’s castle kitchen,
toke every time they draw an ace,
or deuce
when it’s wild,
split an order of sushi,
dream of hot tubs at Christmas,
grow fat, and
laugh as the stepsisters
cut their toes off
and the prince whisks
the princess off to do
whatever princes and princesses
do
these days
when dictators joke
and the world
slaps its knee

I like this! The varying line lengths, the line breaks, the images (especially the cats playing euchre, etc.), the way it all hangs together…nice!
I especially like the ending, though it’s all very good.
So much fun to read and imagine your scenarios
dictators joke and the world slaps its knee!
You excel at fantasy
Thanks for the kind words everybody! I had fun with it, but got a little worried about it trending negative toward the end. Lol
