Two haiku today,
ReplyDeletewith Jumble words in the second:
“(Music’s not Just) Made for Birds”
Pan plays pipes; the lyre’s
for Apollo; Heimdall has
his horn. But only…
A rarity of
a deity would stress the
playing of banjos.
~ OMK
A semi-deity went down to Georgia
ReplyDelete(To check up on his flock, you know)
What he found would raise his gorge, a
Sound of the famous dueling banjo!
A rarity new surprised Old Scratch,
Especially on this, his own creation!
(You don't think God invented it, natch?
Banjos and bagpipes caused his damnation!
It caused him stress to be surprised,
So he retreated to his estate in Texas.
A little bird came down from the skies,
Told him this tune would dissolve his hexes!
So Scratch took a guitar in his hand,
To renew his mischief across the land!
There's a saying here in New Mexico, and other places as well, I'm sure: "So far from heaven, so close to Texas!"

ReplyDeleteChet and Lois loved music whether it was banjo or guitar
They often went out Friday night to a cute little coffee bar
"No filth in this place, Chet, unlike that seedy place last year"
"It was indeed a rarity that you found me as if a diety visited there."
"The lattes they serve are like an elixir, Chet, I feel no stress in here"
"Let me state to you my pretty bird," said Chet, "No need for a sonnet
That wherever and whenever I'm out with you I'm fixed on it.
"From the first night I laid eyes on you I knew we'd be a pair."

"Another Recovery"
ReplyDeleteKate suffered a sad fate
when she lost her parents' estate.
This created a financial mess
which gave her considerable stress.
But she surprised her kind society
with her enduring piety.
Refusing to be deterred
she acquired a sweet blue bird,
a parody of her charity
which was in no way a rarity.
Then playing a banjo she raised enough money
to help the poor and make life sunny.
OMK, your 17 syllables fit neatly into the J's today. And...
ReplyDeleteDespite everything Misty's Katy perseveres on. Strumming away
WC
C&L are doing more than persevering, fawning and cooing I'd say
Good luck for Chet & Lois, WC, to have found an UN-seedy place to enjoy the kind of music and lattes they prefer!
ReplyDeleteI know from experience that the right combo is not so easy to locate...
AND good work for both you and CEh! to have finished your Wordles in such good order!
~ OMK
Kate showed the right stuff in keeping the faith while playing her music and turning ill fortune around!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Misty, for telling her tale.

Looks like Ol' Scratch has taken a very responsible attitude toward his hexes: returning, in Owen's telling, to his old path to assure himself their evil is still in effect.
ReplyDeleteAll I need to know is Who is the voice behind the current song? Owen himself? Or a fictional creator?
'Cuz that's the soul behind the little bird's reference to the singer of "this tune"--the one apparently empowered by a full Deity to undo Ol' Scratch's not-so-Good Works!
~ OMK
How cool that both your neat haiku, Ol' Man Keith, and your cool poem, Owen, both focused on playing banjos!
ReplyDeleteAnd wonderful to finally get Chet and Lois having a great time at a coffee bar, Wilbur.
Well, this was one day when even with your kind hint OMK I just wasn't able to come up with a Wordle. But hey, it's a Friday, end of a busy week, hot weather in California, and still lots to be thankful for. Have a great weekend coming up, everybody!
Well, so was your poem, Misty--focused on playing a banjo, that is.
ReplyDeleteAh, but yours took the banjo seriously, as a means for Kate to raise money "to help the poor and make life sunny."
Whereas ours treated the banjo as a pariah instrument--Owen lumping it with the *#@! bagpipes, and I relegating it as the choice of no respectable godling.
