Poem and photo: “Oh, my balls…”

Oh, my balls…

Oh, my balls are a tangled mess /

Clattered together like a car wreck compress. /

Oh, my balls are twisted tight. /

Not really painful, but oh, what a sight. /

Oh, my balls are dangling there /

Unable to move in the moaning air. /

Yes, my balls are one big wad. /

They’d be blue if attached to a bod. /

But thankfully, they’re just hanging there, /

Bunched up on their rack without a care.

Haiku and photo: “Window dressing”

Window dressing

Brown leaves on window, /

curled into an empty grip. /

Summer’s embrace gone.

Haiku and photo: “Busy”

Busy

Busy is the bee /

though autumn’s cool grasp clasps /

Dusk closer to dawn.

Love fruit

Love fruit on the roof. /

Once considered poisonous /

Now poised over us.

Monday morning writing joke: “Writer named Maxwell”

There once was writer named Maxwell, /

Who wrote only about things factual. /

Imagination, he said, /

Was overrated and dead. /

Then he was eaten by a Pterodactyl.

Hunters stew

Deep in the forest, /

made with choice ingredients, /

Autumn Hunters Stew.

Haiku and photo: “Taste”

Taste

Taste grows from the soil /

Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, then fruits. /

Seeds become flavors.

Photo finish Friday: “Fairy house”

Fairy house

Shells of the ocean /

formed as a house for fairies /

Young hands mold magic.

Haiku and photo: “The street”

The street

Red lights strip the dark /

Sirens usurp the silence /

Need consumes the street.
