Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete“Dreamed Incognoscible”
Quixote pummeled
windmills. He sensed they disowned
war—when abating.

Happy Juneteenth, y’all!

W727
Welcome aboard our 727!
As we like to say, you’re halfway to heaven.
Just settle back; maybe take a little nap,
but first we must give you the air stewards’ rap.
You need to buckle seat belts; insert them with a snap,
and if you don’t do it right, we may treat you to the …..!

When the dam burst, the waters flew thru
ReplyDeleteVillages below, there was naught they could do.
Evacuation their only sensible option,
Losing home and possessions to war's action.
The water pummeled field and fodder.
A sodden bread basket with mines to offer.
Both sides disowned it. How much does it matter
To people whose lives were washed away by the water?
The floods will abate, but upstream
The reservoir was a vital seam.
It cooled the rods of nuclear heat,
And irrigated broad fields of wheat.
Did such a disaster seem a possibility?
Is war so inhuman to provoke this villainy?
Subway passengers know what to do,
ReplyDeleteTake hold of a loop to carry them thru.
Riders are hopin'
As seats come open,
Places to sit are wishes come true!

"Sound Solution"
ReplyDeleteWhen Fran picked up the phone,
she learned her father did her disown.
She would no longer have the cents
to pay for groceries and rents,
which gave her a worried sense.
The experience made her feel pummeled
and depressed and very humbled.
She next discussed this with her date
and he suggested a possible way
they could her problem quickly abate.
There was no longer reason to tarry
and they could just proceed and marry.
And so Fran's problem was solved
and her life has happily evolved.
"Bloomsday": that's today, a day of celebration for James Joyce's great novel, 'Ulysses', which is set in Dublin, Ireland on June 16, 1904. The day is named after the protagonist Leopold Bloom, who along with Stephen Dedalus who appeared in Joyce's earlier stories and novels, is followed all around Dublin on this day. If I were in Dublin today, I'd be celebrating Bloomsday with other Joyce scholars and drinking a toast to this favorite novel of ours.
ReplyDeleteI was premature in saluting "y'all" for "Juneteenth." It falls on June 19th, not 16th, and is to be celebrated this coming Monday.
ReplyDeleteToday is Bloomsday, as Misty reminds us.
Coincidentally, it is the anniversary of my first marriage which, although it ended after 20 years, is still remembered fondly by both parties.
All in all, it is a busy weekend, what with Father's Day crammed in the middle.
Owen Your poems today are most welcome. The burst dam takes us to Ukraine, to that man-made disaster that has ruined the homes of so many people.
I have to say that your short piece, the subway limerick, is a real gem. That last line is a true payoff for many of us who have commuted in rush hour.
Misty ~ I do hope Fran--and those like her--really can find happiness in this manner. Her problem "solved/ and ...happily evolved."
Here's hopin'.

Ol' Man Keith, I loved the way you rhymed 727 with "halfway to heaven." Even if that number has no specific significance, it still makes for a delightful verse.
ReplyDeleteOwen, your sad verse remind me of all the terrible disasters we are witnessing on television every night, going on all over the world. We can only keep praying for better times for all those people so tragically caught up in all this trouble.
Wilbur, what a great Wordle you had this morning. Yay!
Looking forward to your entry, CanadianEh!. Hoping you're having a good day!
Surely, you jest, Misty ~
ReplyDeleteThe “specific significance” of 727 is in connection with the Boeing 727 narrow bodied airliner, still in service over a score of carriers after 50 years or more.
Ah yes, you’re joking…
Yes, Wilbur ~ Good on ya, son! You and I both Birdied our Ws today.
Maestro Owen made par as well, a pretty good day for Wordlers, despite past division over its welcome here.
All we need now is for die Professorin to come through with her walk-off bat.
~ OMK
I hope all's well with CanadianEh!. I don't recall if she alerted us to a conflict for today, or for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteSometimes she arrives late in the day, but we are running out of time.
