Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDeleteApparently seamless segues from one octave to another, or for key modulations, can be achieved by pressing down on the appropriate frets. This applies to the guitar, the lute, and any instrument with a seamed or “fretted” neck.
This explains …
“(Why-)So it is Seamed”
My lute lesson taught
me to wedge my frets down, for
the daintiest strum.

I meant to post this last night.
ReplyDeleteThe dog wasn't mine but a member of my AA family in SCC
Sewing Lesson
ReplyDeleteStraight seams,
Stitches all alike.
A sampler full of threads of history.
Tea with a wedge of lemon,
Dainty sandwiches,
The strum of a lute in the background.
A bygone age.
OMK- I am always amazed at the way we seem to be in the same wavelength with the Junble words. Strum made you think of lute also!
ReplyDeleteI am still in “all things British history” today.

I found your imagery very evocative, CEh! ~ effective in gently alluding to another era.
ReplyDeleteAs for the lute, its inclusion in my verse is somewhat accidental. I was thinking of a guitar, which I used to play, but I had one syllable too many in my first line!
(I believe Hamlet's famous soliloquy started out as, "To exist, or not to exist....")

"Career Dreams"
ReplyDeleteLinda had an obsession--
she loved taking a lesson.
In her music class she would love to strum
and tune after tune she would happily hum.
She hoped she would learn to sew
and make clothes for a fashion show.
The garments she made were dainty
with a wedge that made them look quaintly.
And so in the end it seemed
she achieved what she had dreamed.
Woohoo! Woohoo! Your kind hint helped me to get today's Wordle in a single try, OMK. I have a doctor's visit today, so it was great to have this gift get my day off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks.

Misty- how lovely that Linda achieved her dreams in music and sewing.
ReplyDeleteHope your doctor’s visit goes well.
OMK- I was thinking of a guitar first also. But the lute was more appropriate for the time period.
LOL re “to exist or not to exist”!
Ah, to live such a life as Misty grants Linda!
ReplyDeleteDon't we all wish?
Woman (Linda) has hope.
Woman attains hope.
In her very own clothes,
and playing her own music...
To dream is to be.

Hope all goes well with the doctor's appointment!

Ol' Man Keith, thank you for explaining the function of 'wedge' in playing a musical instrument. I've heard of the word but didn't really understand it, so your explanation was helpful. And your haiku plus title once again delightfully worked all the J words in--always a pleasure to read.
ReplyDeleteAnd then you gave us your simply charming "Sewing Lesson," CanadianEh!-- thank you for that lovely treat too. I loved the clarity and simplicity of your text, beginning with the actual sewing lesson before moving on to get a bite for lunch, including that interesting 'wedge' of lemon. Now that I can clearly picture--very helpful.
Thank you both for your good wishes. My doctor's visit was an annual "wellness visit," as they seem to call it these days, and I gather all is in order except I do have to get some sort of test for something. But I'll deal with that next week or later. Just nice to get the main visit over with.
And, Wilbur, thanks for checking in too. Hope you're having a good day too.
Wedge is not the technical term, Misty ~ I used it because it is a J-word. In order to fret an instrument, you can apply what’s called a Kapo, a mechanical device that presses the strings at the fret you choose throughout the length of an entire piece.
ReplyDeleteOr if you want to change your sound for only a portion of a piece, you use your finger, preferably your index finger, to do the pressing.

Greetings from christus St Vincent hospital here in Santa Fe not totally sure what's wrong with me right now but I don't think it's anything is likely to be terminal
ReplyDeleteglucose levels are out the roof, and muzzy-headedness pervades
.
Wishing you the very best, Owen! I hope your hospital stay is brief, and they find nothing particularly serious.
ReplyDeleteRegarding glucose levels, you remind me of the first time I ever knew I was diabetic. I had taken a blood test for some anodyne reason, but then I got an emergency phone call late on a Friday afternoon--my doctor telling me to check myself into the hospital ASAP because my glucose level was over 600.
I managed to get to the hospital and be put to bed just before my vision started blurring. They kept me inside for the weekend while arranging for specialists to come and explain to me all the changes in eating and lifestyle that lay ahead.
Over the years, I have had many ups and downs, including over a decade of shooting insulin. But nowadays, my diabetes is pretty much absent--in semi-remission. I take oral meds, and that's all.
Good luck to you, sir!
