She handled the lil’ guy gently, so he, she should not, “….. .”

It happens when you try to sleep.
ReplyDeleteNeighbors carouse and party keep.
Loud they are,
But worse by far
They complain of your slightest peep!

Orijinz:
ReplyDeleteI would write a poem for Orijin
But I'm too lethargic to begin.
Oaken Spout
ReplyDeleteBy the old spring faucet, all worn and dull,
Was posted a plaque, with crossbones and skull.
It annoyed me greatly and roused my anger,
So much, I decided to make a clangor.
The notary public co-signed my lawsuit,
Hoping to determine the problem’s root,
And relieve environmental distress so acute
Thanks Owen for the Orijinz clue. I got it in just a minute. I hope you don’t really feel that way today, or you can use the W to improve things.
ReplyDeleteI liked your W poem, and found it interesting to see the different word origin of the W with “car” on the front.
OMK- beautiful imagery in your W poem with the mother/child bond. Yes, let sleeping babies sleep.
Our J titles differed today. Mine led me to an old historic but now contaminated well. Yours led you to a privileged group of frat members and their progeny. Imagine the sense of entitlement that would lead to the giving of that plaque.
"Retirement"
ReplyDeleteFran worked as a notary for her firm
and was coming to the end of her term.
She had been feeling a pain in her skull
that made her mind subdued and dull.
Not wanting her partners to annoy,
she ended her job with thanks and joy.
In return they gave her a plaque
that their own gratitude did track.
This final experience served as a token
that made their praise and thanks to Fran outspoken.
Well, it took two tries to get this Wordle, even with your helpful suggestion, Ol' Man Keith, but at least I got it. Let's hope the little guy stays calm.

This was not an easy W, Misty, so even with my hint you did well to get it in two.
ReplyDeleteAs you can tell from the 3rd line of my poem, it was not easy ending a line with a transitive verb!
I'm sure you remember that I loathe poetry that takes awkward liberties with good conversational English.
That's why I much prefer your first stanza today. The final couplet is pretty good too, and so nice to end as an honor to retiring Fran!
CanadianEh! ~ I get why your narrator would like to preserve a beautiful antique spout, and I so hope that the lawsuit leads to a "traceroute" that will uncover the source of the Poison-Beware! sign; to be sure it is warranted and, if so, to completely clean it of danger.
Nice going, Owen, hinting around at the W word in both its verb and noun forms.
~ OMK
Misty- thanks for your Fran poem today. I am a little concerned about the pain in her skull, unless it was caused by overwork and tension from the job. If not, perhaps a trip to the doctor is in order.
ReplyDeleteI also hope she got a good pension as well as that plaque. Sometimes the office staff are the glue that holds a business together.
Ol' Man Keith, I loved your verse about that baby boy. It gave me lots of joy.
ReplyDeleteOwen, what unkind neighbors you have. The next time they make such rowdy noise, tell them you'll lodge a complaint if they don't quiet down and let you get some rest.
CanadianEh!, I hope you were able to get that cruel sign removed from the faucet. People who need a drink should have free and kind access without such a nasty warning.
Ah, Misty. The sign was actually a good thing to warn people that the spring’s water source had been contaminated, and the water could make them sick. The lawsuit is an attempt to discover who or what is causing the contamination.
