My Featured Blogger this week is John Malone of the same-named blog site. John is a Brit (I think), but beyond that I know little, except what he reveals in his writing. Which I very much enjoy, and which is why he’s my Featured Blogger this week. John writes, by his own description, “cheeky, compassionate, quirky” poems and stories. And that’s pretty much spot-on (note the example below). After all, how many poems have you read about the abrasive personality traits of Brussels Sprouts?
Read and enjoy!
Tight-fisted , they are hard
as knuckles and spoiling
for a fight
as they tumble like marbles
on to the floor , little green foot-
balls begging me
to sink the boot in ;
even under the knife
they are tough
as nails covering themselves
in layers like Chinese
boxes or onions ;
they leap around
in the saucepan like
boxers’ fists ;
ten minutes later
I swallow them ; anything
might happen
