The first in line (by MattiasA)
This book looks great. Mattias Adolfsson’s blog is one of my favourites, and I drool at his super-detailed and effortless sketchbook drawings each time they pop up in my RSS reader.

Soupilifications by J.R.Poulter
“Soup”, said the little bird up in the tree,
“It’s SOUP they want to make of me!”
O> O> O> O>
“Disgusting!” the parrot replied, but he lied.
He’d helped brew the stew of the others who’d died.
O> O> O> O>
The little bird looked at his trembly wee feet
And went , Tweeeeeeeeeeeeeet….”
O> O> O> O>
“Alas, ‘tis sad,” the parrot sighed,
“Come sit on the branch here, by my side.”
And the parrot preened, stretching his wings out wide.
O> O> O> O>
“You have big wings, I could curl up and hide…”
The wee birdy twittered. The parrot obliged.
That was the last that was heard of wee bird.
O> O> O> O>
So here’s a tip for you or whoever,
Birds of a feather should NOT stick together
If one of them’s on the menu ever!
This one almost destroyed my hand
The Armour-Plated Elephort by J.R.Poulter 08
The armour-plated elephort
Lumbers through my mind
On his way to Fanciful
To join more of his kind.
xxxx—-xxxx—-
He rumbles on, he never sleeps
He tumbles down the mountain steeps.
He snorkunks through the ocean deeps
He goes to join his kith and kin
Fight their way through thick and thin!
xxxx—-xxxx—-
NOTHING stops the elephort
And nothing ought!
xxxx—-xxxx—-
Each night he goes to Fanciful
He wades through blood and gore,
Each war is more FANTASTIC
Than he fought the night before!
xxxx—-xxxx—-
But alas, when we get
To the interesting parts
Of ripping off heads and
Tearing out hearts,
xxxx—-xxxx—-
My mother comes in
And gives me a shake,
“ENOUGH!” She yells,
“Time you’re awake!”
xxxx—-xxxx—-
I wish the elephort would come
And chase away my meanie Mum!
