ReplyDeleteGlad you saw my last post to you. Thanks for your good words in reply.
I hope you also managed to catch my nightcap from the evening before!

Today’s Jumble haiku:
(It was scary to see a baby floating, lost, unattended, in the shallow river.
The couple were on a lunch date, and it took them by surprise—before they could rally and save the child.)
”See The Last Line”
They picnick’d adrift
in an 8-foot canoe, but
froze at the pram, guys!
~ OMK
The downy petals of the rose,
ReplyDeleteLeaf-like from the stem arose.
Amidst the thorns,
Greeted morns,
With sweet perfume for the nose.
"Worthy Writing"
ReplyDeletePete was with friends on a picnic,
creating his eight work of prose,
when the wording became too slick
and Pete's effort suddenly froze.
This made him feel adrift,
and upset him, and he was miffed.
But he did his best to rise
and the topic of his work did revise.
His new theme made his essay so clever,
he won a grand Pulitzer prize,
and now Pete is happy forever,
feeling satisfied, lucky, and wise.
Ol' Man Keith, I tried to find your comment that you referred to, and maybe I did: did you really call me a "poet extraordinaire"? If so, I sure don't deserve it, but many thanks, all the same.
ReplyDeleteI did.
ReplyDeleteYou’re free to deny it, but I can file my opinion just the same.
I wanted you to see that poem because it contains several mid-line rhymes and examples of breaking the meter without losing, I trust, readers’ ability to follow.
If it does confuse or lose, that would be my fault, not yours.

ReplyDeleteYour Pete is a lucky son-of-a-gun,
to be his own best critic.
He’s clearly able to be the one
whose sense of taste ain’t arthritic.
He catches the slickness of his own prose
and tosses his first weak effort.
His inner self is the muse that knows,
his oasis in an artistic desert.
Don’t we all wish for a similar power,
to pause, revise, and win the prize!
To do it just once & see it take flower,
for a lasting rep in the world’s eyes!
~ OMK

ReplyDeleteTactility & odoriferousness
inspire, while the muses bless
the poetic code
of your sweet ode.
~ OMK
My goodness, OMK, you are at the top of your poetic gift today, and I'm gratified, yet almost embarrassed, to have my tame offering earn such a superb response from you. Can't believe you rhymed 'critic' with 'arthritic'. But then, in your praise of Owen's sweet ode, you topped even my response by pairing 'odoriferousness' with 'the muses bless.' Put this down as one of your best days yet!

ReplyDeleteOur frozen winter we perceive
Hangs on like it will never leave,
Making three months seem like eight.
It’s no picnic, there is no debate,
To be adrift on an ice floe,
But that just goes to show
That we enjoy the delay,
We love to talk that way.
We’re Canadian eh!
Coming soo we hope

O Canadaaah
ReplyDeletein your home & native land,
your rhymes are holding me in awe,
as you take Erato’s hand.
Sorry it’s still cold for you,
as we bask in the SoCal sun.
When I felt chills, even then I knew
to move south for year-round fun.
(In the climate game, who’s won?)

I’m late to the party today. (And my W note should say “soon”)
ReplyDeleteOMK- what a macabre haiku (and that poor couple will have PTSD after that experience. I caught the meaning of your title, and found your Spooner? in the last line..
Owen presents the W poem to relieve the stress with that wonderful fragrance.
Speaking of Wordle, OMK, were you very doubtful on your second guess?
WC- what was your W starter that you got the fourth letter only?
Misty- your Pete is amazing. He can write prose on a picnic! And to win a Pulitzer no less. I’m impressed.
Thanks all.
No, CEh! ~
ReplyDeleteOn my 2nd try, I was slipping secrets to the press.
Glad you spotted my Spooner; it was my final (& penultimate) gesture.
~ OMK
Thank you, Misty, for taking the time to compliment my latest efforts.
ReplyDeleteI dunno why 'tis, but some days, the muse just seems to take me under her wing.
After I scribble a first line, I know where I want the sense to go. I will check the rhyme zone for words that will match the end-word I've already got, and I'll pick the one that comes closest to that sense.
If that fails, I look for synonyms to my original word & start again.
On muse-happy days, it never takes long.
~ OMK
CanadianEh!, I loved your poem because 'delay' and 'way' finally taught me how to pronounce your name, Canadian eh. Now if you can just explain what the 'eh' means or suggests, that too would be interesting and a help. Also, having done my graduate work in Buffalo and lived there for several years, I can also understand how difficult winter weather can indeed "aggrandize" a place.

Words but a very quick solution
WC
OMK, as per my style I picked from the J for a starter with no E. I chose #4 and dropped the A.
ReplyDeleteNow, my #3 guess was BEERY until I came to with LEAF(y)
I wanted KNIFE but had used the I in #1
Now tonight took < 2 minutes with a handy J word. It solved itself once the second vowel was located
