Editor's Note:

Hurricane season,
a sloppy kiss from your aunt
who never visits.


-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-

Chuck Von Nordheim
one final brain freeze
caused by cherry flavored ice—
Dairy Queen closes

hurricanes bulldoze
human homes in new places—
make way for sea rise

Evan Chow

Step on bathroom scale.
Darn! Well, let me get my wrench.
Ah, that’s much better.


-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-

Kevin James

How many times son...
Lock the door to your bedroom...
when you want "me" time

Who's your kid's father?
Maury has your answers now
Only cost? Your pride.

Newton Lied to us
He discovered gravity
by his plumber's pants


-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-

Rose Kowaliw

Forever Young

Wrinkles come with age
sure as hell won’t be for me
not when there's Botox.
Ha Ha Ha

Manhattan rich bitch
wearing last year’s Manolos
what was she thinking?


-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-

Adam Tetelman

The roads are all closed
Danger lurks around each turn
Time for a roadtrip


-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-

Bob Lucky

three days of cold rain –
a flock of sheep stop to drink
from a deep pothole

a night of fireflies –
the internet connection
flickers on and off

the moon lost in clouds –
twisting the hair in my ear
at the long stop light

cold steady drizzle –
watching the dog lick herself
over and over


-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-

Geoff Pope

husband eats his first
Oyster Burger while the wife
(milk)shakes her sweet head

-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-

Amanda Hillenburg

Social media 
Great for broadcasting chaos 
Without hazard pay

Who needs milk and eggs? 
Liquor is more important 
Non-perishable!

September 2011 AWESOME SAUCE: Adam Tetelman


Pounding storms hit hard
the students getting hammered
straight through the storm's eye





-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-


Soon, before the next
monster storm destroys us all,
send in your haiku.
