Sue has given us another wonderful photo prompt!

Fat thin rocks...

I went for humour, a 2 part limerick… a bit weird, but hey, that’s my mind for you!I have no excuse for how my brain works sometimes!

Slimming World

“How’dya do it?” said Fat Rock to Thin
“Look so tall yet incredibly slim?”
“It’s easy” said Thin
With a sly little grin
“I just tend to hold my breath in”

The secret though folks is the sun
When the pale orb’s shine has begun
Its shadows create
A shape that is fake
Svelte without having to run!

When that ‘friend’ shows up

A pure shiver of delight

Do I look my best?

Delicate footprints

Embossed in the fresh white snow

Going up and down

Oh, I had fun today! Lovely Ron gave our challenge prompt here.

The prompt words Shower and Play… What great words! Of course, there were so many ways we could go!

So I think I went all ways possible!

Haiku in 3/5/3 and 5/7/5 format, a tanka, and a Freku, just for Ron!

Sweat – 5/7/5

Feeling so sweaty

After a taxing workout

Need a shower methinks!

happy children

Innocence – Tanka

Watching children play

Laughing, gigging and happy

Is the greatest sight

Shower them with your love, not

rainn

Heated Rainfall – Freku

Drops fall

Getting heavier

Heads turne upwards

Welcoming the rain

Washing away

The emptiness

Eyes lock

Raindrops caress

The face

Fingers trace

Their path

Chilled drps

Touching

Heated flesh

Body,

Outwardly cleansed

Thoughts,

Filthy…

***

Eyes meet, bodies touch

While cavorting in the rain

Temperatures rise
