Haiku

[Voboy]

The autumnal cry,
Roaring past the August heat:
"Come, Pumpkin Spice! Come!"

 

[EbersMoll]

Witches in hiding
Awaiting the turning leaves
So to cast their spells.

 

[AlinaX]

Xanadu published
with a brief nod to Voboy
in the red light zone

 

[EbersMoll]

More well written works!
Though will there be arousal,
Shock, or both? Let’s read…

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

The air cold and still.
A bit overcast today.
Fat-cheeked squirrel bounds.

 

[AlinaX]

a little grey one
hopped through my garden today
bushy tail flying

 

[Voboy]

Bulging eyes, slack fur;
Tail drooping in silent peace.
The mousetrap was loud.

 

[EbersMoll]

Poor little nutkin,
Coaxing his nuts ‘til autumn -
Next level edging!

 

[lavendersilk]

The hunt can be more
Fun than securing the prey
Once you've eaten... bored.

 

[EbersMoll]

Being the hunter
Or the prey, both can be fun!
So why not take turns?

 

[lavendersilk]

Checking my schedule....
Thursdays I'll be the hunter...
Saturdays, the prey.

Appendix went bad
Found cancer cells, so Stage IV
Chemo now for life

 

[etletlien]

chemo's mustard gas
them we must gas
and electrocute

 

[EbersMoll]

That’s such dreadful news
Finding the right words is hard,
But you’re in our prayers.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

A prayer for you
To have the strength you need to
Beat back the cancer.

 

[elizaloo]

A bump in the road
is what a friend said to me
I know life is good

 

[etletlien]

no prayer needed
only c-vitamin
via injection

 

[EbersMoll]

Low quality carbs,
Spices, fried beef and beans,
Now I feel hungry!

 

[AlinaX]

countess dracula
a history rewritten
to no great purpose
yes, I know it's just a film
but it's all just so random

 

[AlinaX]

the cold cruelty
of an old woman grown young
drunk on virgin blood
a vampire without power
is a pitiful creature

 

[EbersMoll]

Would Gary Oldman
And <sigh> Winona Ryder
Reverse their lead roles?
Just trying to offer you
A few casting ideas

 

[etletlien]

bathory
the only witch
legitimately burned

 

[AlinaX]

bathory's power
was the old world absolute
of a ruling class
the countess may have been mad
but her crime was mere excess

 

[AlinaX]

never liked oldman
or dracula all that much
but love winona...

 

[EbersMoll]

I do like Oldman,
As for Ryder, we’re aligned!
Guess there’s Mister Cruise?

Seeing Winona
Playing countess Báthory
Would be a turn on
