Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #410

The Man Who Hid by Belinda Roddie The man who hid behind a tree wore shades and bore stubble like dark and somber roots growing across a volley. Kids in spades wandered down the street in sandals and boots, the Farmer's Market lively. Yet he stood staring at the gray bark as if to bore a hole through the old trunk. It took a good two minutes or so 'til he moved some more, leaning on his cane, head jerking back and forth from one side of the tree and then to the other. Was he hiding from a friend or foe? Was he surveilling crowds and crews and gaggles of townsfolk? I'll never know, since his story is not mine to be told.

Today's OneWord: Stitches

Man, that joke was so good that you left me in stitches. I mean, literally. I laughed so fucking hard, I fell off my stool and took my half full pint of lager with me. Wound up breaking the damn glass and leaving gashes large enough to land flying saucers in. Fucking grand canyons, those wounds. So I got all knitted and crocheted up at the ER. Still, though, fan-fucking-tastic joke. Well worth the steep medical bills I got now.
