Ergo, the Ogre

A large, sprawling oak tree with thick branches covered in green moss, surrounded by lush greenery in a natural setting.

It’s Fandango’s Flashback Friday again! I crafted the piece below for the terrible poetry contest, and now it’s being recycled for #FFF.

It’s that time again: The Weekly Terrible Poetry Contest hosted my Chelsea Ann Owens! Our mission is to create a senryu about a small, innocuous animal of our choice.

Armadillo lies

in the middle of highway

played chicken with cars.
