The Epiphany of Day 21

The Epiphany of jr's Day 21

Unmask your inner
substance abuser, unleash
Stranger Things* within

Stranger Things within,
Who knows what The Shadow knows?*
Stay tuned if you dare

Stay tuned if you dare
to discover the lurking
beasties feasting inside

Beasties feasting inside
is six syllables, dude
you've gone on too long

<><><><><><><><><><><>

* Apologies and
thanks to the Duffer Brothers
and Mister Gibson

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Author's note:

Gentle reader, this is not intended to be another haiku thread. The above just came out that way. So if you care to post here, feel free to say whatever comes to mind. Prose or poetry. Free verse or meter rules strictly enforced only by you.

Vty,
jr67

I have always been an early bird due to work but now that I am retired I have found myself sleeping later and later because of hangovers. If you call 7 - 8am late.
5:30 am and I feel, as Tony the Tiger would say, GREEEEEAAAAT lol

Note to self:

Do not confront me with my failures.
I've not forgotten them.

Quiz time:

1. Name the singer.

2. Sing the song.

Thank you, tomls.

I had breakfast in a Waffle House in your general neighborhood, the stix of Southern-ish Indiana, when passing through on last summer's road trip that included a leg from the stix of Central Indiana to the stix of Western North Carolina.

Road Trip 2020!:

A couple of us SobeRlanders might be going to southern Ohio this year for a barbecue. I'm (Knot) kidding.

I remember not
how words and syllables grace
the lines of Haiku.
I shrink and wither.
So be it.

OK, I looked up how to write Haiku. Three lines of syllables. The first and last lines have five. The middle line has seven. So here's me taking my second shot at it:

Syllables of five,
then syllables of seven.
Thank God for Google.

A limerick:

There was an old girl from the stix
Who loved the early morning fix

Lets have some beer
Bring on the cheer

Throw all emotions in the mix.
