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.

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.

Socked feet

Both full and thankful, /

Kindness has many flavors /

Carried on socked feet.

Poem and photo: “Death becomes you”

Death becomes you

Death becomes you, my dear.

Let me hold your hand so our selfie is clear.

Get my bare bones, they show me the best.

All that flesh and muscle — begone all the rest.

I’ll wear my cap. You wear your smile.

Don’t worry about missing teeth. It’s been a while.
