It's a way of thinking since the time of Socrates.
ReplyDeleteDeducing from the known to the unknown, if you please.
Sherlock Holmes used it,
George Boole perused it,
And you will use it too, to decipher this tease!

Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(The dirty tar of the road melts beneath the blazing sun, and the hot, spinning rubber tires draw a filthy effluvium up into the wheel wells…)
“Drawn ‘bove, Grime”
An ounce of sweaty
highway, on our radial road,
melts ‘neath our car’s frame.
~ OMK

To temporal travelers, Donald was a star.
ReplyDeleteHe could tell precisely when you are.
He had hunted dinosaurs in Jurassic jungles.
A humid, sweaty time, but he never bungles.
His machine had a fan like those swamp boats.
It controlled tachyons with its radial spokes.
The frame was all made of mahogany wood,
Better than aluminum, for storms it withstood.
It was balanced exactly, to the ounce.
The rider's weight for travel didn't count.
He had gone far back, with his fan awhine.
That gave his notoriety as the Don of Time!
Beware - that home improvement project can start out well, but disregard of safety can cause it to
ReplyDeleteTurn on a Dime
Logic plus an ounce of prevention
Avoided that hot, sweaty work,
Building that frame with attention
To the radial saw that would jerk.
OMK gives us a car, I offer a saw, but Owen outdoes us all with his fantastic machine.
ReplyDeleteI could not make Tawny Dime work as a title. OMK went with another version, but again Owen trumped us all with Don of Time. Wonderful imagery Owen.
“Of the thinking-friends’-lens, the truth-prism,
ReplyDeletethe optic we know as the syllogism…”
If on the trail of facts you would stay warm,
the syllogism is the form.
It’s what you use if you aim to deduct
and reach right answers with any luck
(& w/o which you’d probably suck).
Socrates & his fellow Greeks
brought philosophy to its early peaks.
They favored reason and rational thinking
and sought to expose the pompous & stinking,
popular though they might be.
(HeHee.)
This includes the pedagogic
who may fail to use today’s Wordle topic
(especially the demagogic).
So, share yours with friends, be philanthropic.
Please don’t harbor it as something exotic,
now’s not the time to keep it endoscopic!

ReplyDeleteTo Cathy cooking was a game
that in the end her success did frame.
She made food in all amounts--
some in pounds and some in one ounce.
Cooking made her tired and sweaty,
but it kept her busy and steady.
Then a radial pie she made with lime
and this did spawn
her first prize at the dawn
of her proud career in time.
Yes, “Don of Time” is a brilliant exegesis
ReplyDeleteof our species through aeons, nothing merely specious.
That big whining fan signals Don’s coming & going
across the rivers of time, with cross currents flowing,
and we’re the beneficiaries of this pic of time-travel
that Owen has taken the time to unravel.
~ OMK
If I read your poem rightly,
ReplyDeleteCanadianEh!
I must either hold it tightly
or, from that saw, stay away!
Your Cathy, Ms. Misty,
had a hard time cooking,
and often did fret
and readily tire.
But I thought femininity
was no longer brooking
the vulgarity of sweat.
True ladies perspire!

Ol' Man Keith,
ReplyDelete"Admiration and Dedication"
Your verse today is delightfully wordy--
so intellectual, not a single bit nerdy.
Inspirational lines that set our brain on fire
making us laud you, and admire
your absolute brilliance
with envious desire.
Owen, your delightful brief poem
ReplyDeletemade me want to return to school
to learn more about George Boole.
And I would never try to unravel
your Donald's brilliant travel.
CanadianEh!,
ReplyDeleteAfter all that hard work
your improved home
will deserve the perk
of a new telephone.
I did my best to overcome a hurdle,
