Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(I have heard of “Station Carts,” mobile ground navigators that send signals to river craft to help them steer around water hazards. These can help get past water-based and bankside predators.
If you can maneuver your canoe past the Congo’s tight turns, you can reach that stretch of the river that’s beyond the “equation zone,” [i.e., where crocodiles and big cats pose equal danger]…)
“Mo’ Station Carts!”
Manage that oxbow
bend, and you’ll escape tiger
and croc equation!

Magnificent! I’m LOVING the roll that I am on this week.

Like the tiger’s eye
Or the oxbow U-bend,
Can we manage to equate
Our melodic ardour high
With a new emblem penned?
Or is that too subtle a trait?
OMK- another imaginative backstory. It was required today with the varied words we were given. And when I added the W and the O words, creating any good poem became very difficult. I hope my offering is understandable. It requires a bit of work to decipher.
ReplyDeleteYou managed to get the J words into a somewhat logical haiku. The title was a stretch IMHO, but I laughed at the connection to reality that you made by explaining those carts.
I’ll try to remember the next time I am on the Congo.
I hope we hear from Owen today.
Good morning, Ol' Man Keith and CanadianEh!.
ReplyDeleteI have guests coming for dinner this evening and have a busy day preparing everything. So I sadly won't be able to check in until later in the evening, if at all. But I wish you both a wonderful day!
"Critters"
ReplyDeleteHow am I supposed to know
the meaning of the word "oxbow"?
I haven't seen a tiger or an ox
since I rarely leave my senior box.
And so I have no way to equate
the outcomes of their tragic fate.
Since neither tiger or ox often bark,
let's put their names in quotation "marks".
(Had to have something to do while eating my breakfast cereal).
Oh Misty, what a wonderful gift to us today with your breakfast creation. You certainly took all the J words and pronounced the combination unwieldy and unknown. And you were outside of your usual sunny poem box. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteA smart response, Misty, to those awkward J-words! By criticizing them directly, you could include them all without having to use their meanings organically!
ReplyDeleteThey forced me into quite an elaborate & “imaginative” backstory, as CanadianEh has pointed out.
And she has taken on ALL the given words in a most highly coded manner.
I can only guess at her sense. Among the possible interpretations, she may be equating an esoteric new form of musical notation with the ferocity of a tiger AND a 180 degree geometric figure!
Yikes!!
(I doubt it would be a note I could sing.)
