Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Climate change can destroy natural food resources. This in turn can lead to the elimination of species.
Some beautiful environments, normally filled with animal calls & birdsong, stand to lose their inhabitants.)

”…Come be Incensed!

This scenic meadow
leads down to the river mouth.
Funny—the silence…!
~ OMK

A jumble of waste blocked the sewer.
Trash that should really be fewer.
A muddle as wet
As could possibly get --
It made the aldermen much bluer.

"Poetic Peace"

On days that are cheerful and sunny,
words come out of her mouth that are funny.
Her style is often scenic and poetic
and even critics find her aesthetic.
Today she visits a meadow she rents
and writes verses that display her
common sense.

I imagine, Misty,
your bright poet takes inspiration from her rented meadow.
How lucky she is to have found the right balance between her outer & inner worlds,
to turn sunshine into brilliant words.

Free Advice (No Cents Required)

Funny how common sense isn’t so common!
Why would you be down in the mouth
About a scenic meadow?
Watch for bees, take your antihistamine,
Don’t sweat the small stuff.
Enjoy nature.

OMK- Great title. We should be incensed at the loss of beautiful environments and their species. Your haiku with its terse description- and then Silence, evokes a stark picture.
At least my meadow still had bees!

Owen- you follow OMK in denouncing man’s effect on the environment with excess trash. And yes, I did find the W in line three.

Misty- we were all on an outing to the meadow today, given our words to work with. But your poet has her own rental meadow!! She finds her muse on sunny days and portrays common sense with her words. Quite a woman!

I'm a bit late making comments on your always wonderful contribution to our blog, which are a delight, as always.

Ol' Man Keith, I loved the way you used your common sense to work all those Jumble words into your lovely landscape haiku, with its scenic meadow leading down to a river mouth. Not only funny, but very poetic!

Owen, you once again address real issues in your five-line verse: waste, trash, and muddle. It's helpful to have poetry deal with problems that still need to be dealt with in many communities.

And then you encourage us to take a positive approach to our scenery, CanadianEh!, inspiring us to enjoy and love nature, even if it's not perfect these days. Yes, we shouldn't be down in the mouth, but love our scenic meadows and our lovely bees and just do the best we can to deal with all that pollution.

And always great to see your Wordles, OMK and Wilbur--you make me wish I had more time to join you with your diverse solutions!

Have a great week coming up, everybody!

Thank you, CEh! - for your appreciation, not so much of my effort, but of the ecological crisis we all face.
Your poem reminds us to enjoy what we still can of the earth’s gift to us.
