Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete“No Preconceptions!”
To unpack the Moose
Deity, one learns from the
pantheist clinic.

It’s far greater in quantity than contained in a potion,
and the actions of the moon keep it in constant motion.
There are five on our planet; we live right on one “….. .”

Just float down stream,
Rest and dream,
And let someone else find you!

Sometimes the hardest part of a journey can be the acquiescence to the need for help. (In memory today of WC and his Chet and Lois stories.)
ReplyDeleteNotion Accepted
Don’t be a rehab cynic,
Unpack at the clinic.
Prepare to hang loose,
No need to vamoose.
Deity may be invoked,
Past deeds may be uncloaked.
12 steps will be listed,
And your recovery assisted.
Misty-OMK has led you right to the W. Owen has hidden it in an anagram.
ReplyDeleteOMK- great title adaptation, and once again you take those J words and put them into a concise, thought provoking haiku. Moose deity indeed in the pantheist clinic!
"Dapper Dan"
ReplyDeleteDan was known for his gaiety,
and girls treated him like deity.
He had many jokes to crack,
and funny stories to unpack.
He wrote silly verses about a moose
who fell in love with a gentle goose.
But one winter, Dan got a chill,
and ended up in a clinic, ill,
where he suffered no rejection
for the nurses treated him with affection.
A moose and a goose?
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a twos-
ome to fall in love,
Like a foot in a glove!
What demented deity
Would allow such love to be?
Would expect to accept
Such a no-account concept?
It should go to a clinic
(Am I being too much a cynic?)
For deities thinking they're posh
(Or Napoleon, by gosh!).
There it can unpack its foibles
About geese and tiny toy bulls!
Orijinz is off-line today.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, Ol' Man Keith, your hint gave me today's Wordle on a single try:

A nice answer for someone who lives in Laguna Beach.
OMK, what religion are the folks in your pantheistic clinic? Do they take some potion?
ReplyDeleteOwen, what a peaceful sailor you are! But I guess you're possibly not so liberal about the romance of moose and goose? Keep in mind that Dan was just writing a silly verse about them.
CanadianEh!, how kind of you to devote your lovely positive verse to our beloved Wilbur.
If I have time this weekend, I'll try to go back and see if I can remind myself of his Chet and Lois stories. But thank you for posting this one.
Have a great weekend coming up, everybody.
I went back and found a December 2022 Chet and Lois verse by Wilbur, and thought you might like to see it:
ReplyDelete[Nora is asking the couple about the coming wedding]
"Lois, darling, tell me about your ideas about marrying and the honeymoon
Back in the foyer I mentioned that five digit figure that can be fine-tuned
Earlier I heard your Canadian friend float the idea of a yacht to Aruba"
[Lois responds]
"That's the alpha and omega of our hopes, snorkeling near Cuba "
[Charles chimes in]
"That's a splendid idea and I'm wired in at the Rotary club in town
There's nothing hotter than relaxing on the beach near old Kingstown
Our annual meeting and banquet takes place in a couple of weeks
With the connections I have you'll surely have the honeymoon you seek
WC
Misty- your Dan sounds like a charismatic fellow who has no problem attracting female attention and devotion. His moose/goose verses sound like a good start for children’s books. Or perhaps we should ask him to join us.
ReplyDeleteOwen obviously does not like the moose/goose association. Great rhyming words used in your poem.
Misty- I think that pantheists believe that God is in everything, including nature. So OMK’s use of Moose Deity (and learning about him at through pantheistic teaching is not a stretch). No potions needed.
Thank you for finding one of WC’s poems (and the one where he mentions his Canadian friend). I remember that exchange fondly.
I do hope somebody (else!) will make use of that C&L clip, Misty. It can be inspirational for fan fictionalizing.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe another passage.
Glad my W triplet worked again for you. Yes, I'm sure it also helped to be living on the edge of the largest of them all.
The folks in my clinic are academics. Their practice? Research.
CanadianEh, your poem is indeed in Wilbur's AA spirit. Or works as an excellent stand-alone piece!
