Reach

I am not a dream. /

Your waking will not end me. /

Lower that snack — now.

Fish of the land

If fruits de mer means /

fruits of the sea, should berries /

be fish of the land?

Haiku and photo: “Eyes”

Eyes

The eyes from the floor /

speak no words, but implore: /

no more. Don’t ignore.

Original glazed /

Hot when the round light’s bright. /

Summer’s sugar dream.

Photo finish Friday: “The Tong Dynasty”

The Tong Dynasty

King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /

King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’ . /

“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /

“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /

Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /

Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /

King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /

They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /

Godzilla thank Kong and went on his way. /

Thus, civilization was saved that day.

Monday morning writing joke: “War writer”

There once was a writer of wars /
Who saw peace as a series of chores. /
When people put their arms away /
He had nothing to say, /
And at parties he was just one of the boors.
