I thought this was such a lovely 5-7-5. It brings the reader the "feeling" of a chilly autumn day, and the warmth of the beans - and all done in ten words! I hope this does very well in the contest.

Thanks, T. It's not for a contest though. I rarely win those. :-)

We've been starting to have food vendor trucks around us but I've only seen a couple and it's always when I'm at work. You did a great job with this friend and I'm sure many people can relate

Thanks, Meghan. Guess they're big in New York City.

Your poem "A Musical Booth" fits the constraints of this type of 5-7-5 poetry very well more senryu than haiku in nature. Good luck in the writing prompt contest.

Thanks, Alan. I labeled it 5-7-5 because to my way of thinking, there is no satori line as in a phrase not finishing a sentence.

Hahaha I do love your play on words here, Shari. Your senryu/5-7-5/whatever title you give them, are always so fun to read and guaranteed a smile. A downwind windbreaker.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

Thanks, Karyn. I love the multiple ways the English languages uses words.

I've always imagined you as an excellent one-liner type of person, Shari, and this latest 5/7/5 confirms it perfectly. (still giggling about 'I used to like that song!' Another beauty, to be sure.

LOL - this is one of your funniest yet. Did you read Dean's latest posting? I am sick to my stomach. And, now, I'm reading this little ditty.

Isn't it funny how when we write gross stuff, it isn't as bad as when we read it from others? Hey, when I tackled poop, at least I wasn't too vivid.

Just rambling here. I enjoyed this one, Shari. Very clever. Hugs, Lou

Just read Dean's. Since I watch Criminal Minds I've seen worse than this! Not every one has the stomach for it.

I delight in your puns! 'Windbreaker' is definitely one of your best! There is no knowing where your inspiration is going to come from next!

Hey, laughter can bring on gas too. Be careful who's close when you read. :-)

Keeping warm but distant (5-7-5). A Musical Booth.' Yep, you don't eat beans and need a wind-breaker. This is a very clever little poem designed to make people gas-p. Well done.

Ha,ha. Clever review. Thanks, chase.

You are most welcome, Shari.

Yeah, you know, Spit, if you go to one of those outdoor vendors in Autumn who sells chili, beans and the like, make sure you wear spandex. Either that, or really, really tight nylons. That way, they'll fill up with warm gasses and you won't get cold -- holds it all right in! Be careful when you get home and remove them, however. Wallpaper has been known to peel right off the walls.

Funny, my friend, lol...~Dean

Now, that sounds like a horror story in itself.
You missed my last chapter Jeff's Vows. There's something in it that you would dream up. Think it's still paying.

How'd I miss that? I'll go catch it right now!
