Desperation - LJ Idol Week 7

 

DESPERATION

 

The cupboards are bare

Still, hunger won’t release me

Ham and eggs again.

 

Time to go shopping

Only half a basket full

Fifty-seven dollars?!?!

 

Groceries put away

The cupboards still look empty.

It’s never ending.

 

 N.B. - Hundreds of words came to naught.
Themes ran into blank walls.
In desperation I reached for a different format.
Haiku won.
