Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(Exotic structures are always…)
“Best to Show”
Architects have sworn:
the length of each pagoda
eave is Curve times Poise.
—And here’s a non-haiku (for western traditionalists…)
At length, I built my pagoda
up in North Dakota,
where I ate stomatopoda,
before moving to Minnesota.
You’d have sworn I was one of the boys
with natural, insouciant poise,
a simple kid who merely enjoys
slurping shrimp—with lotsa noise.

Lucky second guess today. After my usual fall flower, I was on my horse, and nearly decided to go to the spring, but then I did the math for the “Impressive”.

Zest in Pho
ReplyDeleteI had sworn it was the best;
The lineup length outdid the rest,
(Nearly to the adjoining pagoda, an amount
Too big to count)
And won my bet.
Porpoise soup with cloves - tastiest yet!
WC- great work on Wordle today. I presume you started by feeding yourself.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of food, OMK and I are bringing you a fishy diet today. But he sticks to American soil, while my locale is more exotic.
The new math in the haiku brought a smile. No Pi in that equation, just a Curve.
"The Best Rest"
ReplyDeletePaul didn't want to be a pest
but he needed to show
that he had to make an important request
to get his tourists out of the snow.
He had sworn that his travelers
could have a rest,
at the end of their trip, in a pagoda.
They had poise and at length did their very best
to treasure this lovely coda.
Nice rhyming title, CEh!
ReplyDeleteAnd a neat verse... although I'm not quite ready to dive into dolphin soup.
I dunno why I'm resisting--just because it would be eating a fellow mammal. We do it all the time. It couldn't be much different from a beef flavored broth.
Still, I resist.
Ms. Misty, I gather the pagoda was a lure to draw the gawkers from the snow. But then tour guide Paul probably found himself with a new dilemma, how to get them out of their treasured gazebo-shrine!

Loved your verses this morning, Ol' Man Keith. After all that lovely poetic work I hope you did have a chance to slurp some shrimp as a reward. And thank you for the kind comment on my verse. Maybe Paul will have to entice his group to leave the pagoda to slurp some shrimp too.
ReplyDeleteAnd your turning all that poise into porpoise soup might not make all the dolphins happy, CanadianEh!, but it sure made for a fun verse, with a great reverse in the title. Your zest will be much more popular than a pest.
One of the J's prompted
ReplyDeleteAs we stand poised for the new year to dawn
With goblets raised to sing Auld Lang Syne
Let's empty the cups and earnestly vow
To double our efforts for the time is now
To undertake challenges and tasks
Difficulty overcome, failure to unmask
Loved ones remembered, new friends to make
And one more drink for old times sake

Wonderful, wonderful verse this morning, Wilbur-- presented with a great deal of grace and poise. A lovely way to get our year off to a healthy and happy start!
ReplyDeleteA fine Verse, Wilbur, tetrameter alternating with pentameter. Was that on purpose?
ReplyDeleteYou remind us that this is the time o' year to make good on our pledges (as we all-too-easily let 'em slide after the Ides of February!).
