eggnog at Christmas
tasted better when
spiked with Rum
to underage lips
along railroad tracks
boys collected spikes
as if they were gold
an electrical storm
caused a power spike
leading to disaster
we watched Spike
kiss Buffy, but
honestly we were

Loved yourcollection of spikes Arcadia... :-) didn’t fully grasp the last one, but know it was TV related.
ReplyDeleteThat taste of rum to underage lips is bewitching. Enjoyed the spike collection specially the last one.
ReplyDeleteLived the collection if spikes. I never watched the TV show but I loved the movie.
ReplyDeleteWe used to collect railroad spikes with my grandad back in the 70s. I love the nostalgia this brought, and your clever use of the word in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteYou covered many bases!
ReplyDeleteA comprehensive spike collection! I remember my grandmother handing out eggnog at Christmas – I preferred a snowball: advocaat with cream soda or lemonade! We still suffer from power spikes in East Anglia, especially here in North Norfolk and, being British, I always had a soft spot for Spike!
ReplyDeleteYou rocked the prompt!!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone :)
ReplyDeleteMany spikes to make life interesting.
ReplyDeleteLove your collection, Arcadia!
