Dale offers the prompt, “an autumn walk”, for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
The weather was beautiful today, Friday. Earlier I walked around McDowell Nature Preserve.
Here are some of the photos I took. These are fresh off my phone’s camera.
All of these limericks were originally posted to Esther Chilton’s Laughing Along With A Limerick or somewhere else during the month of September 2026.
Chew On This Limerick
When I chew I knew you would chew, too,
as the two of us do what we do.
Which is what? I don’t know.
May we do it all though
as we chew on this limerick, too.
Prompt word: “chew” September 7, 2026
Magical Nothing
Oh, there once was some nothing that said,
“I am nothing, just something you’ve read
or you’ve heard. That is all
and my tales are tall,
but with nothing your minds have been fed.”
Wonderful Task
Oh, the task that I got that fine day
was so wonderful all I could say,
“Is this really for me?”
Yes it is! Now, we’ll see
if you’ll do it or go off and play.
Prompt word: “task” September 14, 2026
Frying Up Some Verse
You’re awake? I will fry up some verse
with our breakfast all yummy and terse.
We will start this day right
since it’s no longer night
and delight that my rhyme can’t get worse.
Prompt word: “fry” September 21, 2026
Tight Argumentation
The fine reasoning seemed to be tight
like a lim’rick strung through the night
when the neighbors complain
of the noise and the pain
only prove that the proof wasn’t right.
Prompt word: “tight” September 28, 2026
I am thankful to the Lord for everything mentioned below and all of His other blessings.
The photos tell their tales with the help of captions.
Once upon a time there was a dear damsel in distress. She blamed the dastardly dragon for all her woes. A white knight in shining armor rescued her.
Over time the damsel’s fiery words torched the knight’s castle destroying this and then that as she blamed the knight for all her woes.
The dragon, with a nod from the knight, rescued the dear damsel from the dastardly knight.
The knight lived happily ever after.

Dale offers the prompt, “seeds, fruits and nuts” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I considered going to the grocery store to find these.
Instead, I searched through my photos. Here are some fruits.
I am thankful to the Lord for everything mentioned below and all of His other blessings.

I went back to the Six Sentence Cafe & Bistro and found the tall, thin man setting the automaton up in the foyer as Doctor Zoltan Mystic and Seer who apparently could answer any question for 25 cents though he specialized in fortunes.
Finding a quarter in my pocket, I asked Zoltan, “What does a poem consist of?” and Zoltan raised up a card upon which I read: RHYME, METER AND HEART, BUT YOU BETTER USE THE PROMPT WORD FOIL SOMEWHERE IN THIS TALL TALE OF YOURS BEFORE YOU RUN OUT OF SENTENCES.
Wow, I thought, that was a more accurate answer than AI would have given me.
Perhaps reading my mind Zoltan gratuitously raised up another card upon which I read: I CAN EVEN WRITE THAT POEM FOR YOU AND FAKE THE HEART JUST LIKE YOU WOULD.
Wondering now if he was any better than AI, I inserted another quarter to ask him if he ever ran out of cardboard stock upon which he wrote those messages.
Up popped another card which read: HOW WOULD I KNOW?
