I haven't participated in a while, but I did make this week's Junkyard Poetry Challenge.
Here it is...now remember it has to be written in 10 minutes and with no editing.
Why I Dreaded Summer as a Child
Crack!
I wake up in the darkness
broken only by lightning
flashes.
My ears hurt
with the lightning's assault,
My heart pounds with fear
as I hear...
Tornado sirens
in the town beyond our farm
wailing on and on
and on.
My mother urges us
to put on our shoes
and follow her to the storm pit.
Fast we go,
hearing the storm's bellow.
The lightning clues us
as to the windstorm coming,
a violent cone
heading our way,
with the siren wailing
and my heart pounding
and my ears ringing,
I hide in the shelter until it's over.

"I believe that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can not baptize cats." - Larry the Cable Guy

A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were both fighting in a war and were captured by the enemy.
"Before we put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"
"Yes," said the Alabaman. "Could you play 'Yeah, Alabama' before you shoot me?"
"Sure," said the enemy. "How about you, Tennessean?"
"Could you shoot me before you play 'Yeah, Alabama?'"
