Today's prompts are just chock full of sibilants. Ah yes, that famous fricative 'Ssss' sound. And what are these 'S'-ish words? We Write Poems' prompt is Safe place, SiS/Few Miles' prompt is 'Scintillate' and Three Word Wednesday's prompt is 'figure, juicy and StreSS.
So, I decided to write a bunch of 5/7/5 Haiku for the occasion - and then I titled my post 'Bananas...' because I realized we're we're out of bananas here. (That's what happens when you write a shopping list and a blog post at the same time.) But just so you know, this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any of my poems, except I kind of went bananas with the 5/7/5 stuff. But anyway...

Dangerous Puddles Ahead
Way I figure it,
slipping on spilt Juicy Juice
could cause stress fractures.
Anagrams of Scintillate
Elastic Lint is
one example. So are these:
Titanic Sell and
Lilac Tints I and
La Insect Lit. Pretty weird
take on the prompt, huh?
Meditation
Think of warmth, comfort.
Imagine gentle voices
welcoming you home.
Cracker
Put your ear up close,
turn the dial ‘til you hear clicks,
then take out the stash.
Home Safe
He leaned off third base
waiting to hear that kerrrr-ack
which would send him home.
