Editor's Note:
Hurricane season,
a sloppy kiss from your aunt
who never visits.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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.
