Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(I first felt the power of super options when I was a lad. My cadre of fellow heroes declared that as long as I had powers, I should not surrender my advantage—reserving my right to quit till I felt some klutziness.
We wanted to be sure how to handle my …)
“Super Brand”
We vowed, “Punt choices
only when there’s a drag on
my Super Boy cape.”

Hard Wordle today. My odds were even, but it took all six guesses. I see FLN that WC had problems too. (What on earth was guess five wrong letter?)
ReplyDeleteA silly weedy tale in which Puff grows appendages.
ReplyDeleteOdds are Nifty/Nifty
If slaying dragons in dreamland,
You may get the upper hand
With a superb punch.
But if they are in a bunch
Perhaps it pays to leave.
But what a tangled tail I weave.
OMK- truly a Super Boy haiku today. You hid all the J words well. I had to go back and search for the W one.
ReplyDeleteMine are naked today (except for the Wordle) . . . and I didn’t get the J answer into my title. But then I was in LaLa land.
"Renewed Friendship"
ReplyDeleteHer jokes had a funny punch
so Pat invited her friend to lunch.
Mary arrived pushing a wagon,
with a little girl holding a dragon.
Pat then gave her friend the upper hand
to choose a restaurant that wasn't grand.
Mary found one in a blurb
that was fine, if not superb.
The friends had such a good time
they didn't want to leave,
and after all this time
a new friendship they did weave.
Misty- you offer an interesting and well-rhymed poem (well, perhaps a climb or rhyme might avoid duplicating time in that last verse). I smiled at Mary finding the restaurant in an ad (blurb); or was that supposed to be a burb location (as opposed to out in the boonies?). And did the little girl and dragon go to lunch also? ( or did they slay the dragon?)
ReplyDeleteHere’s to a renewed friendship!
I should have masked the J word and been “sleighing my dragons” to go with the “tangled tail”. Ah, Puff.
My goodness! What delightful Saturday Jumbles on this blog today.
ReplyDeleteOl' Man Keith, I love the way you split up the J words in your haiku: super b[rand], Super B[oy], and drag on. I'd say you did upper handle it.
CanadianEh!, glad your Puff the magic dragon got slain only in dreamland. Hope those dragons were able to leave before anyone anyone did a net weave.
And thank you for your kind comment. Yes, Mary had to take the little girl and the dragon to lunch--thank goodness he was a toy and didn't have to be slain to get into the crummy restaurant.
THANKS, CEh! ~ for parsing my haiku.
ReplyDeleteI don't expect to continue deep embedding the J-words, but every now & then I think it worth while to keep myself on my--and you guys, on your--toes!
Your poem today cautions us not to overrate our dreamy abilities, to think that slaying ONE dragon may be a sign that we're up to facing a bunch.
Not so, you point out. A "superb punch" may be just lucky.
You leave it to me to point out that slaying even one dragon in a dream
doesn't equip you to handle the same dragon in a waking state*!

* Whether it's either you, or the dragon, who's awake.
Misty ~. Glad you found The D- and S-words that I sneaked into my verse. Did you also spot the W- and P-ones?
ReplyDeleteYour stanzas were sweet today--lunch time for Pat & Mary, and their plus-two, the girl-with-dragon!
Obviously, this was not one of those obstreperous dragons, the kind requiring slaying.
And I guess Mary's jokes were "on" today, supporting the "good time" that was had. Verbal gags can sometimes loosen us up, and it appears that Pat knows this and relied on Mary's good humor to keep the get-together lively.
Neither were the girl and the dragon party poopers.

I don’t bother with Wordle each day,
ReplyDeleteonly when I’ve got time to play.
This one was shifty,
not really so nifty,
(and a long time ago, I must say).
