ReplyDeleteToday’s Jumble haiku:
In order to transform the J-solution into a Spoonerism, I had to imagine the haiku as the lyrics to the chorus of a hymn (or anti-hymn), entitled…
“🎼Ha! Company Air!🎶”
Your corp’rate clergy
boast a droopy view of heav’n:
one to match our hell.
~ OMK
Match Made in Heaven?
ReplyDeleteShe wanted her lover
To accompany her forever.
But her spirits drooped -
Woven into the clergyman’s homily
Was the need for humility.
Pride was his downfall!
Hard work this morning. I used a letter I knew was wrong in guess three just to try to figure out the letter order.

FLN- OMK- I did not know the acronym for CREST and I LIUed. That throws an even broader light on your haiku. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteToday’s title is great. I also smiled at the “droopy view”. I suppose that can be the opposite of an elevated view!
"Clergy"
ReplyDeleteIt was when she developed an allergy
that she became a member of the clergy.
Her condition had made her droop
and she needed a whole new loop.
Her options offered a batch,
but she soon found her prefect match.
Ever since she was seven
she had wanted to go to heaven.
Now she had company on her mission,
having made the best decision.
CanadianEh! ~ Your poem today seems a compact lesson in irony.
ReplyDelete“She” expected a lover who could live up to his own theological message. Apparently, he preached it, but could not live up to it.
Isn’t this the droopy downfall of a whole swath of modern religionists?
Misty ~ Seems your lady minister had better luck in choosing her mate. (Though I’m not sure he would appreciate being identified as a “new loop,” one of a “batch” of them!)
It all worked out for her in the end. She succeeded in landing the perfect catch. Or did you mean him to just be a “prefect,” the guy in charge (of her heart?).
Thank you both for your offerings on faith and heavenly desire!
~ OMK
I sympathize, CEh! with your W slog today. But congratulations in the end!
ReplyDeleteA simple hint can make all the difference, maybe (in my view) just knowing which part of speech is involved.

Ol' Man Keith, my favorite part of your morning haiku is always the funny way you re-arrange the Jumble solution in your title: "Ha! Company Air!" just cracked me up this morning.
ReplyDeleteVery clever!
CanadianEh!, I'm always amused by the way you use the Jumble words to go down, and I use
them to go up, for our protagonists. I'm not sure where that comes from in my case, and where and when and why I started to refuse using negatives for anything. Not very realistic, I'm afraid. But I think it's neat that together our different Jumble verses should be comfortable for a wide variety of readers.
Oops, just saw that I wrongly spelled "perfect" as "prefect" in my verse, Ol' Man Keith--thanks for pointing that out. And how ironic that my misspelled word fit perfectly into a poem about "clergy" ( or did it fit "prefectly"?).
ReplyDeleteMisty- I am not a negative person by nature, but recently my verses have tended that way. I’m not sure why. But your optimistic offerings do balance them out.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how prefect was still perfect!
Yes OMK— “faith without works is dead”. Too often, modern religion is self-serving.
CEh! You caused me to re-think the slogan about "faith without works."
ReplyDeleteI am a non-theist myself, but I respect those who live their faith humbly. My daughter-in-law is a Lutheran pastor, a beautiful & decent person.
Yes, religion is often self-serving. As long as a person is looking out for his or her own salvation, it must be selfish.
The real test must be whether you are living for the good of others--
giving your attention to their salvation, not by "correcting them," but by improving their lot in this life.
