I Tried to Return Him to the Hospital

Now He’s a Dad

A warm, whimsical watercolor illustration of a Bengali family celebration. A framed image of Maa Lakshmi sits beside a glowing diya and a Bhai Phonta thali with sweets, sandalwood paste, and flowers. A laptop displays an incoming call from “Bhai,” surrounded by a childhood photograph of two siblings, pink baby booties, a folded diaper, steaming chai, and a globe connecting Delhi and Milwaukee.

A Detour to the Second Floor

Ride shotgun for a bit. This one’s for FC August Prompts, though I cannot promise we are going anywhere.

A narrow paved road winds through autumn trees with golden-yellow and rust-colored leaves, some already bare. A white vehicle is partially visible around the bend. Green grass borders the road beneath a blue sky streaked with wispy white clouds.

A++++ for Mischief

TDW #166 | Mischief | 415 words

A whimsical watercolor garden blooms from cracked red earth beneath a “Frequency Change Poetry Patch” sign. A Martian rooster, smug cactus, runaway scarecrow, three crows, and mischievous thistles inhabit a riot of flowers. Poetry labels, A+++ banners, a giant red pen, and scattered everyday objects celebrate the poets’ playful assignments.

Clean Hit

A mysterious hooded woman in dark clothing holds a dagger, her face partly concealed in shadow, against a dim forest backdrop. Her piercing gaze evokes a secretive assassin, setting the tone for the darkly humorous poem “Clean Hit.”

Heavy Metal, Light Drizzle

Surviving three days of hostile gray skies, discarded pajamas, and a local wildlife performance.

A quiet Midwest neighborhood on a rainy November evening. Wet asphalt reflects amber and purple lights from nearby houses, while a slender, leafless tree stretches its branches across the dark, overcast sky.

The Frequency Change Poetry Patch

How FC November Prompts Take Root

A lush indoor botanical garden beneath a towering geometric glass dome, with a winding mulch path leading toward a white gazebo. Colorful flower beds, leafy trees, decorative sculptures, and garden bridges fill the expansive conservatory.
