Took a new medication this evening, and it knocked me for a loop. I'm going to be out of it for a few days until my body adjusts.
Pink sails on the lake by wind-boarders
Closing out their season as days grow shorter.
The sails swing to track their courses,
Managing water and wound-up wind forces.
Inside, the clerical staff papers' rattle.
Old-timers in the lobby continue their battle.
Pawn takes knight, queen takes bishop.
The game continues with nary a hiccup.
Tranquil scenes from the end of summer.
No misadventures to make it a bummer.
The only occurrences to spice it up
Were the habanero poppers in their cup.
I'm sure this is more like a fever dream, but I'm happier writing than not writing.
I know what that can be like, Owen; changing meds can play games with your system.
Some years ago, I was on an anti-depressant that had lost its effectiveness. My doc prescribed a new one. I started it the day we had invited an old friend for dinner. I fell sound asleep between the main course and desert, with my head falling smack on the table. It took a full week before I could stay awake in the daytime. I wish you a better switch-over!
I don't see that you poetic ability has been hampered in the slightest--at least not yet.
I had a minor medical mishap this evening. I was flossing my teeth very gently in the neighborhood of the temporary crown my dentist gave me on Monday when... it popped off. I was being very careful, as she had warned me to be.
I was to avoid chewing gum, of course, or eating sticky stuff-- or any such thing. Sigh... The force It took to dislodge it was negligible, hardly anything at all.
I guess I'll manage w/o the temp until the permanent crown is ready on the 12th.

Owen, I agree with Ol'Man Keith--your poem is a delight and I see no effect on your ability whatsoever.
So sorry to hear about your tooth mishap, Ol'Man Keith--I can well imagine how frustrating it must be to be so careful and then still have a problem. Hope it all turns out well.
I had a problem only with the first Jumble word, and your poem helped me get that, Owen. But I still had to look up the solution--couldn't get it even when I had all the letters. I'm not a golfer, so this was not my thing. But the cartoon was cute nonetheless.
Hope you both have an okay day, Owen and Ol'Man Keith.
You are too kind.
With two ecclesiastical words, something religious seemed almost demanded, so I went out of my way to avoid that. The discussion of cleric on CC the other day helped. I hope it wasn't too unconnected.
Enjoyed the evocative poem.
Jumble not too difficult. The pun was clever, I thought.
I got the four J's earlier today. I suspected the second word but the key was getting the two letters. It wasn't IN or IN. And of "course" what are they doing in the driving range.
Agree, very nice poem.
