Phallus Impudica




Read "Phallus Impudica" at the Eldritch Dark:

This poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) is named for the undeniably phallic Common Stinkhorn, ubiquitous throughout the United States and generally appearing late in the growing season.  It's a simple nature study, and the haiku form is ideal for delivering this sort of small but vivid impression.
