Don't let his scary appearance and frightening strength fool you, Pummel is a sweet and down-to-earth (pun intended) country opossum with a heart that's far from stone cold.

Foes who cast him off as dumb, however, are quickly taught a lesson.

A #malformed and #malevolent tomato’s #bionic maw bit a #jovial #sentient carrot. “A #mundane #vigil you’d have, and I’ll become a #constellation!”
A #pungent #yearn to #pummel and #seethe Mr. Carrot said, “You #audacious cur shall #reek what you sow.”
“It’s reap you veggie.”

I get em all? #vss365

A Train Station in the Middle of August

I try to write every day, note
it all down; this history, even
the most mundane things     like this:

     sitting cross-legged in 
the pummeling heat on the cigarette-
speckled train station floor watching 
the carriages susurrating by 
like flocks of steel-feathered birds. 

You might think this ordinary, boring 
maybe     and yet, when you pay attention 
there is a whiff of pomegranate 
when the train doors open
from some luscious orchard in Teheran,

perhaps, or the Greek coastal tangerine
splash of a woman’s lips, a frayed leather
suitcase that has traveled the continents.
A flamingo pink dress, Indian azaleas, 
someone carrying a late summer

memory from a beach in Cairo, wet dog
fur shaggy and brined from the Northern
sea. A boy reverently carries a large cone
of ice cream like a rare, exotic flower; 
the pastel pistachio green of San Joaquin’s Valley.

I stretch my legs on the dirty floor 
and when the old lady with the crocodile handbag 
passes me by with her ambergris perfume,
for a moment I could’ve sworn it was sea salt
drifting on the breeze.

"Someone pummeled every alarm clock in this shop,Sholmes"

"A bold statement,Hatson"

"Vandalism?"

"No. Its Geriarty"

"Why?"

"He he hates mornings,declared a war against them"

" So offices collapse, deadlines vanish?"

"And brunch rules supreme, Hatson"

#Pummel the Space Patriarchy is one of the most popular songs in the lengthy repertoire of pan-galactic punks Peach Schnapps & the Poltergeists' canon.
Except, you know, in the places it's the least popular.
But, simultaneously, the most needed.

My favourite piece of gym equipment was the #pummel horse. I would practice during lunch breaks and picture myself at the Olympics. The only problem was I had no coordination. I wasn't even a glorious failure. I was an #abject failure. Maybe I should stick to #vss365 vignettes.

Nightfall,
I fall
quietly
into my cosy bed.
my eyes closed,
thoughts exposed,
#pummel my brain
with #abject dread.
Whys, and what-ifs,
and maybes,
of words spoken
and left unsaid,
buzz around,
intrusively,
inside my
weary head.

OOPS
Sometimes Irish Gran misheard words much to our amusement.

Watching Olympic gymnastics once on the tv, she said in her lilting accent, “wud ya look at dat! How do dey do all dat on te #pummel horse?”
“It’s pommel, Gran”
“Well, it shud be called pummel,” she laughed #vss365

They tried to #pummel the outsider into submission, but she was far more than she seemed

Feeling threatened, her inhuman appendages emerged, swiping through the mob

In a matter of seconds, the area was covered in severed limbs and dying villagers

care home bills can be terrifying
just look at the battered white house
all fenced in beside the avenue

have you heard? - it's foundations now are crumbling

it might be all that pummelling
- those loud neighbours on the right

Pummel

history leans into
our moment by moment
whispering expectation
we mistake for truth

Caught by the sunlight
Mortar and Pestle pummel
a little pesto
Today you are Italian
flour footprints and sips of wine

Curating reality
soulworthy stanzas
summon the #pummel
across ridges
Lightning in a bottle
& the accompanying thunder
#Encountering points
of chakra
cherished memories
of wild nature
Caught up
in the phrasing
of dormant seeds
May the will of peace
Endure

Betrayal pierced my heart

You left me for dead
but bitterness
brought me back

Round One goes to you

Pay back for me
in Round Two

Next time you do
a cheap shot
best put the victim away
with your first
sucker punch blow
or they will rise up
and #pummel you
with nothing to lose
desperation

Marcin - "Carmen" on Guitar (Live in Japan) YouTube video by Marcin

If you're solo and without a drum, well,
then use your guitar like Marcin and #pummel
its body as if there's no tomorrow.
But don't do it just so-so.
Watch Marcin. But caution! Don't get whiplash or become ill.

To #pummel or not to pummel: that is the question
Whether ‘tis the bolder of its kind to suffer
The chuckles and itches of outrageous tickles
Or the battered limbs kissed by a sea of knuckles
And by so apposing end them? To cry; oh, to weep.

A roar of disapproval
as the stones clatter
cold and numerous
from the heavens,
the gods attempting
to #pummel the city
back into the
desert dust beneath it.

Unseen, hail
melts to water,
water quenches
the earth.

The city will drink
deep tonight.

ambiguous
echoes of
an oracle’s
prophecy
pummel
sponge heads
setting
rows of
pendulous
reverberations
down the hill
& up the sky

Folded wings, the Book Wyrm reads about pixies and drinks tea. Long gone are the days of pummeling castles with fire. Hopefully.

#pummel me
#pummel you
It's in our blood
Since we were two
We're sister and brother
We love each other
Just playing rough
We're not tough
It's what we love to do

Have you ever felt
Pummeled by life,
Smooshed into a pulp,
Made into lemonade,
And sold at the corner store
By the neighborhood girl
Who hasn’t learned yet
That life has so many more lemons
Then we all had planned.

Chapter 12

Jeff could hear the pounding bass as he approached the old brick building, attempting to #pummel his senses before he even entered. The bouncer had a pair of shoulders wider than a truck. He stood on guard with his tree trunk arms crossed over a barrel chest. #vss365

A #pummel horse, strong to hold
A challenge waiting to unfold
With steady hands and focused eyes
Gymnast rise aiming for the skies.
They jump,flip,soar and race
And perfect landing,full of grace
With every score a story told
Of hearts that dreams for gold.

Pummel the door
to a doomsday vault -
its locked door
to hoarded supplies,
to life, embedded between
glacier and not enough land.
The metal reverberates
and the ice starts cracking
and you'll probably crack
first, slumped along door,
going from
knocking to reaching out
