ReplyDeleteToday’s Jumble haiku:
”High Field Clover”
The berries of the
hedge row form in floral shapes
each decade or so.
~ OMK
Ideals Magazine 1980
ReplyDeleteThe condo was decorated for a former decade.
Vintage floral sofa,
Hedge and berry wallpaper trim.
Perfect for her eye,
Not so much for him.
OMK- wow, you really stretched to get that title! Great work.
ReplyDeleteI could not get my brain to do that this morning.
Your haiku has a British flavour; I can imagine those narrow winding back roads with their fragrant hedge rows.
I went in all directions on Wordle today. I had a couple of words accepted that I wasn’t even sure were real words. Finally I found a place to call home (even if it is a few floors up).
I didn’t get back here yesterday, but enjoyed reading you all. Today and tomorrow will be busy with family.
‘Tis the season!
"Failed Friendship"
ReplyDeleteMary enjoyed her trip on the ferry,
cheerfully eating a sweet strawberry.
There was a suitor she needed to hedge
even though she had known him for a decade.
But she was not yet ready to pledge
a union in which too long she had stayed.
Their romance had not been floral--
and even a bit immoral.
So it was ideal for her to leave
and this loss of him no longer grieve.
Ol' Man Keith, wish we could have a picture of your berries transfigured into a floral shape. Would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd CanadianEh!, I had the same wish for your condo: decorated in such a lovely way, one would like to live there.
Good to see you, Wilbur. I have my son and daughter-in-law coming here in an hour, but if I have a few extra minutes before they arrive, I'll also check out today's Wordle.
Have a great post-Christmas day, everybody.
Did I get the Wordle in just three tries? If so, Woohoo!

Before playing today’s Wordle, my eye caught a hint, which I now share:
ReplyDelete1. The word is a shortened mash-up of two Latin words, for together-dominion.
Based on that cheat, I changed my starter word,
and just LOOK at what I got:

Nice to see both Misty & CanadianEh! enjoying family today. Yes, ‘tis the Season, all right! Most of modern day travel occurs at Thanksgiving and Christmas—probably most between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
ReplyDeleteBefore I retired, we used to host a Twelfth Night party—for faculty, students & alumni. It was my own way of extending the season, as I hated to see it end!
By contrast, your two poems strike a similar, somewhat discouraged note. We have a domicile decorated for only one of its occupants and—even sadder—the failure of a romantic bond.
The latter is surprisingly out of character for you, Misty. Is it perhaps a sign of new exploration?

FLN, CanadianEh! and any others who seek for justice from the Blog Bot:
ReplyDeletePlease ADD anything you can to my posts of yesterday. in which I call out the Bot for being a "tyrant, out of control."

OMK, my verses never reflect any particular feelings I have because they are dominated entirely by the Jumble words and the words that rhyme with them. So the words that rhymed with 'floral' were 'aural', 'oral,' 'coral' and 'moral'--and the last one suggested possibly using 'immoral' which would then coordinate a bit better with the word 'hedge.' But neither of these words would work well on a poem about a happy relationship--hence my negative one. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteSure, it makes sense, Misty, but just in a little way. You could use the same logic to arrive at your more typically "happy" ending.
ReplyDeleteI used FLORAL in an aesthetically pleasing way, and CEh used it in a nostalgic (ergo, "happy") manner.
It looks like you took an extra step to go from "moral" to "immoral." Why?
In past years, I do not recall another poem of yours that left things in a failure. Even when events took a dive, you always managed to rescue them in the end. Til now.
