The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is definitely NOT required.
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.
Sorry to be late posting. My WiFi went down last night. Restored itself this morning.
ReplyDeleteWe mustn’t water down the experience of soaring.
Earthy creatures…
”Springing Wings & Halos”
It’s a whirling world,
from gutters to palaces!
Even bisons dream.

"Royal Family"
ReplyDeleteThe King lived in a palace
with his wife and his daughter Alice,
who had a room in a quarter
where she could hear a nearby spring's water.
She was a pretty girl
with a sweet face and hair in a curl,
who liked to dance and whirl.
Her pet was a bison who would sputter
when fed his meal in a gutter,
making Alice laugh and flutter.
The royal family had no malice,
toasting each other with their chalice
at dinner each night in their palace.
Lucky Alice. Not only because she gets to live in the palace, but that her quarter is near spring water. I love the sound of natural flowing water.
ReplyDeleteA pleasant, 3-stanza poem, Misty, almost perfectly symmetrical, balancing couplets and triplets.
I wonder if the bison is sputtering in disapprobation of getting his food from a gutter. IRL, I'm sure he wouldn't care, but this is poetry, and we're always seeking an obstacle.
FLN, Wilbur ~ Fibuka? What is that?
If all your poem after the first line is Chet's voice, it certainly sounds like he is upset with this guy, Eddie.
We can't be sure, of course, how well he is reading Eddie (a name shared by my stepson), so it will be good (if this is your plan) to hear directly from the accused. Maybe next time?
Sorry, I have not started this new game, wordle. I don't know how to read your eroteme design.

Thank you, OMK. I had to teach my Senior Center class on three more stories in James Joyce's 'Dubliners' today at 1, so a busy day for me and didn't get to the crossword puzzle until late this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteAlways like your unusual offering and the one this morning was especially lovely. And, once again, I enjoyed finding all the Jumble words and solution here, there, and everywhere in your production.
I too can't play Wordle, but would love to learn how to do it. A friend got me started, but it's still unclear to me how to actually do it.
Wilbur, was your verse posted last night? I'll have to check and see if I can find it.
Found your late posting of your Chet story last night, Wilbur. Glad to see that Chet is still trying to help Eddie, but looks as though he's not getting much satisfying response yet. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteAnd I too didn't know what to do with your Wordle.
