The ripple, reed and redbreast in decline,
The knock, tock and ticking-quick cut of time
Against the bending bough, a summer sun
Remembered, a lost spring ringing dead, done.
Still water shadowless, gray-eyed river,
Now the harvest the hard earth delivers,
Wellstone-tumbled buckets humbled, recalled
Alone, suspended, waiting for the fall.
A slow report, from month to month is passed
Until the court of Nature hears at last.
Her consort's whisper on the water walks:
The fear, the frost, beat level earth and air
To hew the day in half, a laugh, a shock
Of silence for song, where blossom, despair.
Undone, the mother dresses now in reds,
In copper cold and goldenrod she drowns,
On mountains, moors and meadows she spreads
The radiance, majestic, of her crown.

Stretching Syllables
To fit them to a pattern?

Leaves do rustle so
When wind gently starts to blow
Like Orgasmo's mom
LOOK, A HAIKU!!!

You've found me out. I put explicit sounds in each line, to suggest how the changing seasons, like the human orgasm, is evidenced by dramatic fluctuations and changes in temperature.
Hell, the first line's easy..."breast" is right there.
Now, who can find where "prostate" is hidden?

You're welcome, pumpkin.
SEE WHAT I JUST DID? I USED "PUMPKIN" AS A TERM OF ENDEARMENT BUT IT ALSO RELATES TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE PIECE WHICH IS AUTUMNAL IN NATURE.
Here's a little test that I'm sure says something about the testee:
Try to read the second line of the poem without saying "cock". Go ahead.
How'd you do?

Psh, scourge. Others may need a handful of paintings to get their point across.
Me? I only need one.

this only has one picture...
OH MY GOD IT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE OFFERING FOR APW SAY ALL THE REAL APPRECIATERS OF ART AND THOSE WHO SAY WHAT SHOULD BE HERE ON UBER AND IN THE COMPETITIONS.
WHAT DO I KNOW ANYWAY, I'M A GARBAGE TRUCK DRIVER WHO DOESN'T WRITE FOR A CAREER.
sorry. blowing off steam from something earlier.
lets get together for beers one day. we can talk about how st. louis needs pitching and better coaching to fucking get anything done. then i'll get mad when they fucking blow another easy game. then i'll likely throw something at the fucking television.
again.
then my wife would make me clean it up.
again.
that's why she isn't invited out for beers with us.
pregnant jerk.

Paints a stark picture before you get to the color. I like.
