Missing Moppet
Hanging from the jilted shelf, The pots and pans they do not shine, All dusty grey and greenish mould; The crickets’ noise is bouncing off Their beaten metal with a twang, The cacophony building up With hisses from the hated lips, Explodes in a thousand lights, Splintered wood and bulging eyes.
The timid murmurs they are gone. In the air they left behind: A fetor of forbidden fumes, An absent mark of ancient times, Stabbing at his sickened soul, The missing moppet Merope.
Notes: This was written for the Iain Sharp Challenge at Poetry Anyone (?), where we had to write mostly with metaphors.
