dried basil, garlic

24 Seasons Syllabic Poetry Challenge, No. 48, 8/20/24, Part I, Fading Heat (August 23 – September 6) Shosho 処暑

The Macintosh apple a work of art

As seen when skin and pulp do part

Bright red and green skin so smooth

A cute stem is poised from the root

A taste of sweet flesh from tart surround

Makes this apple so profound

The scent of apple orchard trees

Autumn delight on the breeze

Enjoy the juicy white pulp flavor

A Macintosh apple is meant to savor.

Poetics: Exploring the senses in Food Poetry

From NPR:

Ideas come and go, trends
Like styles of clothes
Or songs that bend
Feelings and thoughts
In different ways
It’s like your mind’s a maze
Every day, month or year
Your imagination’s a seer
Of what was, and what will be
Around the bend.

dVerse — Quadrille Monday #206 — Around the Bend

A new term, new teacher and class

Get pencils, papers and books that pass

Forget the ruler and chalk

They cause teachers to balk

Oh and a new uniform too

So everyone looks alike in school

It’s a staple you need that helps you to learn

On that the board is frequently stern

And then there’s homework, a student’s lament

Only worked on their home firmament

And never forget about that bus

Riding to and from and causing no muss!

Some look forward to starting school

Me? I’d rather sit by a pool.

MLMM Monday Wordle #386

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Is there a particular song that makes you cry or become emotional? Quite a few, because I am very emotional. I heard this song and rarely listen to it again, because it’s upsetting, like it was today for writing this:

2.  Is there a particular song you cannot stand? Rap doesn’t impress me

3.  Does any particular song remind you of someone? One above and album below

4.  Do you have a favourite song? The album by Savage Garden – 1997 has many songs I love. I can’t pick just one.

Gratitude: I am grateful to have some new interest in my blog, and wish some older bloggers I miss would come back to the platform. And rain, thank the heavens!

Shocked at his swollen sore throat

Double chins formed a fleshy moat

Skin was spread so wide

Eyes couldn’t deny

When bathing, he might start to float!

Laughing Along With A Limerick

https://open.substack.com/pub/claytoonz/p/duck-burns-gouge?r=482oha&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Pieces of beings held in memory, the bliss of arms holding me tight, particles of breath felt on my neck; even heartache can be a form of pleasure. The feelings sometimes called a thunder of emotion, causing a leaping of my heart, are all explained in a story of passion. Everyone needs a form of this story.
