Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(A sample implied “stigma”…)
“Are you a Sheep, Vet?”
One cannot delete
stigmas that’re just implied—
not arenas full!

Thrice it is that I am on,
ReplyDeleteOff, or 0, are never my song.
Not in a lamp,
I'd feel a cramp,
If cut, I'll let you cry along.

Are You a Cheap(ener) Threat?
ReplyDeleteThere is already too much strife
In the arena of life.
Stigma should never apply.
To downgrade one’s abilities will imply
That one has no worth,
And is of no use on this earth.
Don’t delete someone’s confidence;
Bring their strengths into prominence.
Every person has value!
Tearful W today. OMK gives us a rhyming clue, while Owen’s is more b sure (but the emojis give it away).
ReplyDeleteOMK- I like your J title. It was hard to adapt today. I am trying to imagine arenas full of stigmas. Great visual.
"Winner"
ReplyDeleteWhat she had done, Laura did imply
was true, and not at all a lie.
At the arena she had won a prize
that made her reputation rise.
Now the team wanted the award to delete
so that Laura could no longer compete.
The stigma, they hoped, would make her weep
and she would quit the sport,
and put her talent to sleep.
But Laura was a vet
and not ready to quit yet.
So she played again and won
and earned another great victory sum.
Misty- good for Laura for persevering in the face of false accusations. How sad that her teammates wanted to “put her talent to sleep”. (They need to read my poem.). But Laura won in the end. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments, CanadianEh!
ReplyDeleteI can’t claim full credit for the “visual,” of course, because the J-words positioned us all to make unusual optics the norm. Your deleting of confidence was unexpected & effective, and the arena of life is a larger venue than most of us inhabit.
Your encouragement of how we can help each other is aided by your strong images.
Indeed, the J-words routinely point up the value in poetry of refreshened imagery, of viewing even mundane elements in an unusual way—and how this is of greater service than traditional rhyming.
It carries over into our usage of non-J-words. Witness Misty’s “put[ting] her talent to sleep.” Her Laura remains determinedly awake (not to be absorbed into “woke”).

There's a lot of courage expressed in all of our verses today. Lifts our spirits.
ReplyDeleteOl' Man Keith, you're right:
if stigmas are just implied
they should be denied.
Otherwise we might cry,
getting ready to cook an -----pie.
Owen and CanadianEh!,
Your verses are so brave,
they did our spirits save.
You made us feel so strong,
we thank you with a song!
Misty ~ I am happy for the approval, but I think I said the opposite.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn’t really deny (or delete) an implied stigma—because that makes it worse than it was. So long as it is only implied— I.e. suggested but unacknowledged— it doesn’t have the heft worth subverting.
Still unable to do your Wordle? If so, please let me know.
I may continue to post some hints, but I can pass on nights I don’t feel up to it.
~ OMK
Woohoo! Woohoo! Ol' Man Keith! Thank you for suggestion I try to give Wordle one more try. I did and it worked! Woohoo!

Now I'll just pray that it will work again tomorrow. It would be so wonderful to have it back in a regular way!
Glad you were able to polish another Wordle, Misty!
