ReplyDelete“Haha, ya Mama!”
(Haha
& Haha!
Hmmm. W asks: What was that last laugh?)
A month from now (three weeks anyway)
I expect to have canvassed all the results
of my resolutions made on New Year’s Day,
vows clearly do-able by av’rage adults.
Shiny with promise they may have been.
That they ended up “void”’s not exactly a sin,
but a reminder, “Dear Fates, I indulge in ‘No Win’.”

Misty ~ You don’t have to read the full Bot explanation every time. Just Google the question, “What is the Wordlebot current starting word?”
ReplyDeleteYou’ll get an answer. Recently, CRANE took first place back from SLATE. But there are others you will learn, guaranteed to have decent success rates.

In the spirit of the season, I give you a mash-up of verses.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anyway?
On the third day of Christmas month,
Visions of a shiny motorcycle,
Hiding under the canvas cover,
Danced in his head.
But what to his wondering eyes should appear
But a piano - YAMAHA HAHA!
OMK- Not a haiku today, but a reflection on the season and those New Year’s resolutions that are so elusive. “Shiny with promise” is a great descriptor. And your sound advice, that it is not a sin to fail at keeping them, but rather a reminder that the Fates will ultimately decide.
ReplyDeletePithy!
Several friends also solved W in the same time, and commented on the aptness. Unfortunately, I was left out of the medals.
"Merry Month"
ReplyDeleteIn the month of December
we light a fireplace ember.
It makes a shiny room
we can enjoy now every day,
and clears away the gloom
to cheer us anyway.
Let's paint this on a canvas--
that would be in no way blah,
and make the family merrily laugh
with a jolly "ha-ha-ha"!
Thank you, Misty, for dispersing the gloom
ReplyDeleteby warming the room,
with a fire in the hearth—
letting us go forth
in good cheer (Hear, hear!)
—& newly resolved
(all fears dissolved)
to make needful amends
and spread joy among friends!
Especially appropriate for me today because we’re receiving a visit from my niece and her family, kin we haven’t seen for over two years. We may not be able to “light a(n)…ember,” but we can turn up the gas on the fancy faux logs and play carols over the speakers.
Best of all for spreading cheer, we can offer Janice’s several types of homemade cookies and candies! Those create good will and splendid smiles like nothing else!!

Your free verse, CEh!, reminds me of my biker days.
ReplyDeleteNo Yamahaha, but whether on my old Suzuki or my fancy BMW, I would tear up the road—nearly flying past the stodgy sedans and clumsy semis of the bourgeois hordes stuck behind each other!
Your poor guy has his dreams of such freedom dashed by an unexpected piano, eh? Given his fantasy being so dashed, I assume he is a teenager on the cusp of getting his motorcycle license, but equally in the thrall of parents who have decided on music lessons instead.
Ah, well, maybe all will be for the good, and he will turn out to be the next Glenn Gould (or heavens-forfend, Liberace!).
~ OMK
I liked your free verse too, CanadianEh!, and hope the guy will love dreaming of playing a piano. I'm afraid my folks made me take piano lessons for years and I never took to it. A few years ago someone asked me to play something and I did not have a single thing I could produce after all that time.
ReplyDeleteDear Ol' Man Keith, what a wonderful time you're no doubt having with your sweet family visiting right now. Makes me so happy to think of you all together enjoying those home-made cookies and candies. Look forward to hearing about it tomorrow!

I liked all the verses today. In reverse order Misty warmed us up and painted a fine family canvas
ReplyDeleteFree verse becomes you C-eh. Nice ending
Lastly we come to those new year resolutions so quickly brought to earth. As fate would have it.
Misty, you had a birthday this week?. Don't be shy we all want to wish you hbd. And...
CED wants to bake you a cake.
Did you really miss your CSO at CC? WOO(Hoo!)

[Chet and Lois are discussing parental involvement in the coming wedding]
ReplyDelete[Lois shares]
It's been many months, years in fact, since I've spoken to my mother
My alcohol impairment started early; after awhile I thought "Why bother."
The last time I saw her I pulled up to the house in a shiny Yamaha
Anyway, I hadn't yet admitted defeat ,next thing I know a brouhaha.
[Chets turn]
As you know my father lives inland. Last time together he threw
Me out into a driving rainstorm. I slept in a grove that night
The canvas of my crimes though not larcenous weren't hardly right
I can just imagine "Forgive me father, I have sinned". "What else is new!"
