At last.
ReplyDeleteChet slept lightly knowing next day he'd plight his troth
With the love he'd settled his mind on and was wroth
To let those AA relics urge him to wait and wait longer
And let Lois slip away into the arms of some fish monger?
Down on one knee, his voice husky and his nerves tight
He heard the magic words: "Yes! And I will love you-
Morning, noon and night

"Night Rite"
ReplyDeletePolly's troublesome daily plight
was getting her husky through the night.
He was old and a bit of a relic,
but he still her face did lick.
She loved him and held him tight
as she settled him, and turned out the light.
And she almost began to weep
when she finally got him to sleep.
A rich assortment of J-words today. Wilbur gives us a 2nd meaning to “plight,” and Misty offers a 3rd meaning for “husky.”
ReplyDeleteIt’s a fine way to start the week, with three poems right off the bat—two excellent gifts from my comrades-in-verse!
Chet’s passionate gesture of love is happily rewarded, and Polly’s canine affection helps her furry pal through the night.

Oh, Wilbur, I'll pray that it finally actually happens, that Chet proposes and Lois accepts. Can't wait to see how it progresses tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Ol' Man Keith, your scope went gigantic this morning, from prehistoric through many millennia, with such critters as the dire wolf. (Had to look up "Dire" to learn it was "one of the most famous prehistoric carnivores of North America, along with its extinct competitor Smilodon. The dire wolf lived in the Americas and eastern Asia during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene epochs." The things you learn from your Jumble blog friends!
Not easy, but I got it! Woohoo!

Aragorn and Arwen.jpg
Aragorn and Arwen in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen takes place in the Third Age of Middle-earth. It tells the story of the love of the mortal Man, Aragorn and the immortal half-elf, Arwen, daughter of Elrond.
The tale was written by Faramir's grandson Barahir after Aragorn's death.[1] An excerpt of it is included in Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings.

Summary
After his father Arathorn II was killed battling Orcs, Aragorn was sent to live in Rivendell with his mother, Gilraen, and was given the name Estel to conceal his identity. Around his twentieth year, just after he had been informed of his real name and heritage, he witnessed in a forest the beauty of Arwen for the first time, clad in a mantle of silver and blue. Mistaking her for Lúthien, he called to her by that name, and loved only her from then onward. Gilraen warned Aragorn of the folly of his love for Arwen, being a high-born Elf. Seeing their love, Elrond warned Aragorn that a great doom awaited him; to rise higher than any of his forebears since Elendil, or to fall into darkness with the rest of his kin. Therefore he warned Aragorn to bind no woman to him in troth, but Aragorn responded with the foresight that Elrond's own time in Middle-earth was ending and Arwen would soon have to make her choice; stay in Middle-earth as a mortal woman or depart to Aman to live as long as the world endured. Aragorn left Rivendell and was abroad for thirty years, becoming a Ranger and a determined opponent of Sauron.
In his forty-ninth year (TA 2980), after years of strife and toil, Aragorn wished once again to be at peace. He came into Lórien, not knowing that Arwen also was there. "And thus it was that Arwen first beheld him again after their long parting; and as he came walking towards her under the trees of Caras Galadhon laden with flowers of gold, her choice was made and her doom appointed." On Cerin Amroth, in the midst of Lórien, they plighted their troth looking toward the shadow of the east and the twilight of the west, and stayed together for a season.

ReplyDeleteWe just had today's Wordle in the Sunday NY Times crossword.
ReplyDeleteSeems a bit unfair, since the Times owns Wordle (having purchased it recently for a "low seven-figures").

His jammies (a relic of yore)
ReplyDeleteWhen he was a wee sprite of four
But now a husky nine
The fit was not so fine.
Thus it was his plight
To settle for the night
Knowing he would sleep tight!
