CIGAR hanging at an odd
ANGLE, the aging performer grabs his

Death by drowning
The
BELLE of the ball sadly has
DROWNed in a pool full of
ALGAE, with nary a sound. Let’s
HEIST (I mean hoist) her onto the ground.
Watery Heist
HEIST Neptune’s treasury? Perhaps. Yet thief must
DROWN, descend to depths past light, past
ALGAE, steal the sunken horde, ascend hoping
BELLE, lady of the reef, deigns a kiss for his revival. Then he must quit the sea, never turn his back on a trident.
Belle of the Sea
BELLE of the sea wears her
ALGAE-green gown and white bonnets:
DROWNed in adventure, pirate
HEIST in her lifeblood.

A Bit of Form
SNEAK a rhyme in there on the sly,
OTHERs thought you wouldn’t try:
VERSE for you is free, form organic,
BADGE for having formalled, sans panic.
Clandestine
VERSEd and trained to
SNEAK past notice, clandestine
BADGE and medal avoidance;
OTHERs may have the limelight

Missing C
BILLY, that pleb, stands sole without a C today, while
ULCER, RACER, MINCE hoity-toity sit in C array.
RACER, ULCER, MINCE say C is here to stay, else
MINE, RA-ER, UL-ER, says Bill, will be all they say.
