I like a crispy stalk of celery
to stir a Caesar’s spice,
or a wedge of tart lemon
squeezable in tea that is iced
and cinnamon is delectable
when steeping in hot cider
but never in my sipping days
have I requested a side of spider.
(Based on an actual incident. Photo is proof.)
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a cursed prophetess. She was gifted with prophecy but the curse ensured her predictions would never be believed. Not that it stopped her from speaking out. It behoves all of us to speak out about what is wrong but also about what is right. We can do that in our creativity whether it be prose, poetry or painting. What matters is the message.

Quite the surprise while enjoying a drink. I’ve looked in my coffee before and seen an unwelcomed, floating visitor. Just the thought of almost having swallowed the critter is very unpleasant.
