Haiku perhaps?

Let’s continue the summer theme shall we. There are some sights out there to be seen for sure.

Soaring temperatures

drunk shirtless methodone tramps

all the girls bits out


Today I did actually see what appeared to be a shirtless methadone tramp.  I think he had maybe lost his shirt though or left it in a dumpster because it didn’t seem to be about his person.  Curiously he also had one trouser leg rolled up to the knee whilst he wore the other in the more traditional fashion.

How do I know he was on something?  Well I don’t and I might be super judgy but I think walking down the middle of the road whispering to himself whilst staring wildly at passers by was a bit of a give away.

Still, I’m sure it was lovely to feel the sun on his back as he seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the fine weather we are having.

On the matter of flesh well, you just head down to the market here and you’ll see what I am on about.  Whilst I am all for body positivity whatever your shape or size that doesn’t mean I support adults wearing childrens clothes to go and eat sausage rolls on a bench outside of the bookies.

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: DRY and WET

Tanks a million

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for Dry and Wet.  I used Moist and Arid.


 

MOIST.  Clammy and damp.

Dripping and saturated

wet, humid, steamy

Congrats, most cant read past MOIST

Oh, better use ARID too.

 


There was no way this was going to be anything other than in appropriate.  I often try to be serious with these but this was too difficult to not go where I should not.

A disturbing haiku before bed?

A most unpleasant image

Urine stained POTUS

masturbates into a sock

naked on his desk


I know it’s wrong and inappropriate but it might be true and I know this says a lot about me but I find the image hilarious and sometimes you just have to laugh you know.

It did originally read:

 

Urine stained POTUS

masturbates into a sock

On a pile of orphans

 

But the last line has one too many syllables.  I know, It’s a waste of a good sock too!

 

 

 

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: PRAISE and Excite

Tanks a million

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for Praise and Excite.  I used Eulogise and Rouse.


Spring oft eulogised

Roused from dark, rich mother earth

cold grip, slow released

mostly I see dog walkers

leaving their crap on the paths


I would point out that the crap belongs to the dogs not the walkers.  In no way am I suggesting dog walkers poo on the pavements.  I mean they might, but I never saw them.  Well apart from that once…but they never had a dog.  And it was winter and about 2 in the morning after a night out and all the toilets were closed.  So probably not the same thing.

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: HURRY and LAST

I missed last week’s prompt because of reasons so nice to be getting back to a Tuesday tanka again. On a Wednesday.

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday.  This week the challenge was to use synonyms for HURRY and LAST.  I used DASH and FINAL.


Heart broken and lost

a final embrace, farewell

and once more alone

into her pillow she cries

as he dashes to Tinder

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: BELONG and DREAM

Tank you very much

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday

I don’t take many things seriously as you probably know but I am going to make a concerted effort to do Colleen’s challenges properly when I do them. I have scant regard for the correct use of haiku and tanka and often do such beastly things to them but I think it is also important to show appreciation for the little blighters because they are so fabulous when done right.

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for BELONG and DREAM.  I used OWNED and FANTASY.

 

 


By you, my heart owned

A fantasy unfulfilled

object of desire

but I cant come near you now

bloody restraining order

Lights dimmed, spotlight’s glare

Croon to number forty two

a toast at night’s end

In his head a superstar

the lord of karaoke

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: GATHER and SOFT

A Tanka kinda doo-da

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for GATHER and SOFT.  I used COLLECT and SQUIDGY.


Years take their toll

Naked he collects his girth

sweating and squidgy

She sighs and turns out the light

smiling thinks of his brother


Okay so I never took it that seriously this week.  Sorry Colleen, I shall try harder next time it’s been a long week…:)
