a lifetime of awkwardness

but only 6 senryus

By Jada FergusonPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

1

My laughter bellows

Bounces off classroom walls but

The fart is louder

-

2

Stampede back to desks

A brick catches my foot, the

floor lands on my face

-

3

I paint streets with puke

My ailments, a color wheel

Projection, the brush

-

4

Words tunnel backwards

After a question is posed

Nonsense mumbles out

-

5

Plead and bargain with

limbs for cooperation,

For spurts of success

-

6

I rotate on this

Humiliation axis

Stumbling without fail

humor

    I snorted when I read "the fart is louder" . I feel refreshed by your candour and wry humour. Thanks for these, they are gems.

  • Projection, the brush. I freaking laughed out loud at that! Loved your Senryus!
