Mother Goose and Her Kind Beast
By N. J. Simat
A Lemon Jelly Press Micro-Booklet | Releasing September 2025
This intimate prose poem by N. J. Simat explores the quiet tension between instinct and compassion, cruelty and mercy. When a goose, a snake, and a human cross paths, their brief encounter becomes a lens through which the narrator examines the cost of kindness—and the contradictions we carry.
Told with lyrical precision and philosophical weight, Mother Goose and Her Kind Beast is a small but powerful meditation on moral reckoning, emotional inheritance, and the choices we make when no one is watching.
Perfect for readers of hybrid work, flash fiction, and experimental poetry.
