Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete“Bode Swell?”
The wound blurted blood!
Only a “Noir” zealot could
find that so peachy!

The perfect couple became a terror.
ReplyDeleteCruel words were said in error.
But a make-up parlay
At a roadside café --
Wasn't enough for a romance repairer. 😢

McBride couldn't abide his abode,
ReplyDeleteThe tan stucco adobe wasn't bold.
A foul omen, it was just as well a node
In a ticky-tacky 'hood on a ticky-tacky road.
The road wound around in an arc
That circled a small green sward of a park.
McBride fantasied it as a site for a duel
An alien, sword-wounded, bleeds a green pool.
The extraterrestrial blurts its dying vow,
That its father, the king, will avenge somehow!
McBride thinks that's peachy as he retreats
To his non-descript home on ticky-tacky streets.
The alien king may be a zealot for revenge
But with cookie-cutter houses, which one offends?

I stand corrected re. Yesterday's TRACT. Mr Stupidity insisted that it was some kind of essay, presentation etc
ReplyDeleteIt's a tubular shape such as digestive TRACT
And...
C-eh, if you subtract a letter that's what you do there
WC
Right, WC!
ReplyDeleteTo a professor’s ears, an academic TRACT sounds very much like a “Track”—referring to the series of reviews and promotions that lead to tenure.

"Tough Love"
ReplyDeleteFrank was a bit of a flirt
who with his girlfriend spooned,
when a comment she did blurt
made him feel he'd suffered a wound.
Frank was not much of a zealot
but the relationship no longer boded well,
and he felt he now had to tell her
to get out of his life for a spell.
After this partnership did implode
he one day met a new peachy girl.
He bought her a lovely pearl,
and together a new life they sowed.
Misty ~
ReplyDeleteYour "Tough Love" reads well, a little gem of a poem, with the surprise switching of the rhyme scheme in the 3rd stanza.
Frank may not have been the most deserving lover, but I guess he didn't earn her derogatory "comment," whatever it was. Anyway, it seems he handled the situation and is maybe treating his new "peachy girl" better.
Owen ~ That "extraterrestrial" appears to have come outta nowhere!
Well, I guess that's what extraterrestrials do.

Woohoo! Woohoo! I got today's Wordle on my second try. Thank you, CanadianEh!, for your very helpful hint! A real blessing!

Loved your wacky haiku today, Ol' Man Keith, but still can't figure out what, or who, a "noir zealot" could be? Maybe a fanatic with a very black vision of the world? Yep, that could explain why he'd find a bleeding wound peachy.
ReplyDeleteAnd many thanks for your very kind comment about my verse. Frank would be delighted to hear that you think he's a bit of a better partner now.
Owen, let's hope McBride begins to like his new home in that ticky-tacky neighborhood, and doesn't get himself involved in any duels. Your verse, as always, was a delight.
Wilbur and CanadianEh! and OMK, glad you all got your Wordles on your third try! Woohoo! Hey, a great day for our blog!
