Lamentation Eighteen

Haiku in Vinyl


I've found a flat, black

Lamentation Fifteen

Weight Watchers' Warning


(Midnight Snack, 1984, by Curtis Wilson Cost)

Don't count calories
or your gobbly midnight snacks.
Count your heart-attacks!

Lamentation Fourteen

Two Haiku To Confuse




"Shall we dance?" "I need
a doctor!  Where've you sprung from?
The previous post . . . ?"

"And while we're at it -
Where's Lamentation Thirteen?"
"Don't look for bad luck!"


Serious writers will find rewarding Magies making better use of the Willow Manor prompt HERE.  The picture is:  Sick Woman, 1665, by Jan Steen
