Thanking you in advance….

“From the BOO, to the YAH!”
No matter how I try, sleep is elusive…
Could this be “hypothalamic ablation”?
I need to focus on things less conducive
to rhyme. Time for my Sunday staycation!
🎵 To stay, stay, ‘n stay a-bed, 🎶
a head filled with sleep
Instead-a dread. 🎶
Time to bequeath this week of work
to my four friends of poetic bent.
Time to go with my seventh day-quirk
and, in my insomnia, make a dent.
🎶 To stay, ‘n stay, ‘n stay a-bed,
to wake up Monday, 🎵
a full day ahead!
Boo-yah!
Hal-le-LUH-yah!!

~ OMK
"Nice Neighbors"
ReplyDeleteThe neighbors worked hard to entice
each other to be nice.
They kept their lawns quite green
and avoided any spleen.
So there was never any uproar
as they worked hard on every chore.
Their pleasant and nice resemblance
gave both families a kind remembrance.
Always neat and never grubby,
always friendly and quite bubbly,
they created an autumn of peace
for each family member apiece.
OMK, yes, I think I did get it--that the word "prone" should have come at the end of the next line, to rhyme with "phone," rather than in the middle. But I figured that the sounds of the two words still sounded poetic, when you read the verse, even if the end of that line didn't rhyme with anything. Isn't that still okay?
ReplyDeleteWell, after the discussion about my poem today, I decided to begin the Wordle with a word from my verse. It helped to get me started, but still took four tries to finish. Still, fun to be trying a Wordle again after all this time:

Well, after letting us know early on that you would need to take a break on Sundays, your verse today sure didn't indicate that you'd "stay in bed" and take a "staycation," Ol' Man Keith. Your complicated product today was terrific.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your Wordle, CanadianEh!, but where is your verse? And where is your Wordle, Wilbur? We miss yours too. At least OMK offered one, and I felt like I had to give it a try too.
And we really, really miss not just your poem, Owen, but your multiple poems which are such a treat each day. But it's still a bit early--maybe you'll all check in before too long.
First things in an anthology:
ReplyDeleteStory table of contents key.
It will tell
Where the hell
The story that you want will be.
The Council of Carnivores reassembled,
ReplyDeleteGrizzly the chairbear presiding.
At the lion's uproar, some beasts trembled.
A few even went into hiding!
For venting their spleen out of order
The lions were chastised.
The admonition noted by the recorder
And the meeting was revived.
Old business was then brought up
From last time they'd assembled
About on whom, who could sup.
Apiece, the lions dissembled.
They claimed a smaller, grubby beast
To no protection was deserved.
The lions should be allowed to feast
On whatever nature served.
Small cats and dogs, and moles and voles
Replied with much derision
That they were valuable controls
To the food-chain precision.
Then Grizzly, who in winter slept
And in autumn was voracious,
Ruled lest in times famine-swept,
Mutual respect should face us.
To entice a fellow carnivore
To dinner should be done no more!
So glad you're back, Owen, and your second verse is simply amazing. I carefully checked and you worked every one of the seven Jumble words and the solution into your poem. And, of course, given the animal cartoon with the grizzly bear and the panda, the animal focus in your verse was totally appropriate. My favorite moment came when I feared you hadn't gotten the Jumble solution into your verse: but, of course, there they were, with the Council 'reassembled' and the grizzly 'bear' presiding. Many thanks for this delightful production.
ReplyDeleteOMK, just read your verse again--wonderful. Thank you for getting this Sunday off on such a good start--a great help and a comfort.
