6th in the “Serene Sunday” series on my blog ~ Sunnybank Park, Wayne, NJ
I will be taking weekends off from sharing poetry until further notice, so I decided to share some of my favorite photos. I hope you enjoy them. Of course, I’ll still be doing my #DailyHaikuChallenge/#SeptemberWriting. 🙂

Just a quick note, to my friends, far and near
Please don’t think I ignore those I hold dear
Your comments always mean to the world to me
I try to reply back, as long as I can see
The black of your text, saying hi or whatever
But WordPress, again, is squashing my endeavor
I have found you scattered, in the spam, on my blog
Good thing I keep checking, that silly ole log
So forgive me, for taking so long to respond
I’ve finally saved you from drowning, in the WP pond

To be read as the famous green frog we all know and love 🙂
I’ve drowned myself
In a fountain of fizz
She left me this way
Such a diva, she is
All I can see
When I look around
Are bottles and bottles
Strewn on the ground
There’s one in my hand
And a pounding in my head
And an angry blonde glaring
Now, this I do dread
She said to remember
What I did just last night
But I think I forgot
And that gives me a fright
Did I behave like a toad?
It’s all a bit groggy
No wonder I’m feeling
A little bit froggy
I think that it’s best
To find my own way
I’ve turned a bit green
Though I like me this way
Back at the pond
I won’t drink anymore
Lest, again, my dear piggy
Finds me on the floor
Writing Prompt: Fountain of Fizz – Day 22/30
