FLN, Owen ~ Taking to heart your critique, I will drop the initial letter from the rhymed W-word. Just to make the game a wee bit harder…

Today’s Jumble haiku:
“Shin Proud”
The dunce cried, “Unfair!”
Going in his act, he’d wrenched
‘bove his ankle bone.
~ OMK
The hike had been long, and the trail dusty.
ReplyDeleteThe horse had pulled hard, the wagon axles' rusty.
Ahead was their destination, in view at last.
A stop for the night, for refresh and repast.
The inn wasn't crowded, it wasn't market day.
For any but travellers, it was out of the way.
But Nevin was glad for a bed for the night,
And a stable for his horse, with the going of the light.
Some grease for his axles, the innkeeper could spare.
'Twas unfair the sorcerer Nevin sought wasn't there.
A wave of his staff, and the job would be done.
Instead, like a dunce, Nevin crawled under the grunge.
Morning came, and wrenched the traveller away
To continue his journey for another day.
(To be continued.)

The Mad Hatter explained to Alice, the party
ReplyDeleteWas an unbirthday party, for all in the party!
Alice said, "Then I'll away,
For my birthday's today!"
That error meant Alice was soon a depart-ee!

ReplyDelete"Good Guy"
ReplyDeleteA few people thought Dan a dunce,
though they liked his doing stunts.
But Dan enjoyed going sailing and rowing
and helped rescue boats with towing.
He was never unkind or unfair
and did parts of his income share.
He never did anything wrench
and was considered a decent mensch.
This made him the hero of his in-crowd,
and this, in turn, made him feel proud.
Don’t listen to the noise of those who would distract you from what you value most in life.
ReplyDeleteCrowd Din
How totally unfair
To wrench a person from all they know,
Have them going to and fro,
Then a dunce them declare.
Haters there will always be,
Live your life and be free.
Do I detect, CEh, a sly political barb in your poem?
ReplyDeleteIf so, it is well aimed today.
Dan seems a well-balanced sort, Misty, capable of rising above his detractors. Good for him--and you!
~ OMK
Another one of your all-Jumble-words-and solution haikus, Ol Man Keith--always impressive!
ReplyDeleteInteresting start to a story about Nevin, Owen. Hope he has a good night's sleep and a good day tomorrow, and we'll look forward to finding out what comes next!
You too, CanadianEh!, worked all J words into your verse, with a fun twist on the solution with "Crowd Din". Very clever!
Lots of cool-looking Wordles today. Now we'll just need Wilbur's to finish it off!
OMK- I am an innocent Canadian, who may have inadvertently evoked an American issue. But if the shoe fits . . .
ReplyDeleteI smiled at your haiku, and title.
Misty- great rhyming today. I loved dunce/stunts and wrench/mensch. Dan does seem like a good guy, and certainly not a dunce.
Owen- we eagerly await the second instalment of your wonderful poem.
If Hatter is a red herring, where is the W? Wait, I just found it in the last line. Nice hiding job.
Once I had the letters I still cringed at today's

Thanks for checking in with us, Wilbur. It's bedtime, or I'd try the Wordle using your THROW word. See you tomorrow.
