Background: Trusting a young fickle female horse to find new paths puts too great a burden on her. She’s too playful to find…
“A ‘For Sure’ Way”
It’s unwise to have
a filly ferret-out fresh
vales a la vista.
(A play of fricatives. Try it aloud.)

I started with one of my second-choice words, and it was quite helpful.

"Pet Set"
ReplyDeleteWhich has the greater merit--
a filly or a ferret?
Fran was not competing for a prize
and did not want to be unwise.
She asked advice from her sister
who told her to see a new vista.
A sure-fire way to make a choice
is to listen to each animal's voice.
Both critters did bark and coo,
so Fran decided to keep all two.
Leaving the Bland Life
ReplyDeleteThe unwise filly
Surveyed the vista
Trying to ferret out the cause
Of her ennui.
She searched for a surefire way to spice things up!
CEh! ~ Were your 1st & 2nd BEAST, BRAIN? (Not BRAWL?)
ReplyDeleteYour foolish filly figures to find fun!
Meanwhile, your readers enjoy your verse!
Misty ~ Loved your poem for its unusual usages!
Especially imagining how those two very different critters might sound—barking & cooing together…
~ OMK
Thank you for the kind comments, Ol' Man Keith. And how cool to have you use 'ferret' as a verb rather than a noun in your verse--clever!
ReplyDeleteHope your filly was able to spice up her life, CanadianEh!. Delightful verse--many thanks.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I got the Wordle on the second try! Woohoo!

Ironically my first word was MASON which synced nicely with the CC theme.
I could go on and on about the Templars

Thanks OMK. I hadn’t looked at your verse before I created mine. Our filly was on the same wavelength.
ReplyDeleteLove the fricatives.
Misty- I love Fran’s choice. She will have the best of both worlds!
Nice work on Wordle.
WC- prescience of the blog?!
C-eh etal, I like to use the first word I think of to start. Then when I make a mess I like to work my way out.
