FLN, Owen ~ Regarding my not providing a โ€œline feedโ€ on Sunday, please let me remind you of the sanctity of a day off.
Just check my poem; I like to post an early verse to remind colleagues not to expect my participation.
But Sunday was a busy day for me in another respect; I managed to complete a nearly-full draft of a foreword to my friendโ€™s book.
Maybe tomorrow Iโ€™ll be able to edit it to a readable, reasonable shape.

Todayโ€™s Jumble haiku:โ€จ(I believe the classic spinner of fables would happily rhyme something befitting this new tale of speedy delivery ratesโ€ฆ)โ€จโ€จ

โ€œAesop & the Turtleโ€

Frozen low orbits
in space, would cut postal times,
but cost way too much.โ€จ

Some sounds you hear may be doom,
Like the war's bazooka zoom.
A laughing hyena.
Your kid's ocarina,
Especially if it's out of tune!

I sometimes wonder, if there were no Dark Ages,
And satellites had predated Columbus' trips,
Would he have entered history's pages,
Since India was blocked by those big worthless strips?

And what would Aztecs, looking up,
Think of new stars orbiting thru the sky?
Would they think Quetzalcoatl was showing his stuff,
Or be frozen in fear that the end was nigh?

Would new moons show Chinese pyrotechnitians
Their gunpowder fireworks had more to do?
They had a role even better than munitions!
Satellites up top had the world in view!

Soon would come computers and the web.
Postal chores by e-mail would be done instead!

"Correspondence"

The space pilot was never morbid
and looked forward to circling each orbit.
When he landed on a place that was coastal
he would send off letters from the postal,
telling family members he had chosen
to avoid locations that were frozen.
This much family joy unfurled
by their pilot from on top of the world.

Misty said...

Ol' Man Keith aren't we lucky to have mail delivered every day but Sundays and holidays? That has to be a real blessing for our modern times (not to mention telephones! and computers, like me being able to send you this message).

Owen, I just noticed that you ended your neat historical and international poem in pretty much the same spirit.

CanadianEh!, nice to see your lovely Wordle with such a neat structure. Glad it worked out on your sixth try.

CanadianEh! said...

Just a little over six months away . . .

Christmas Eve report from
On Top of the World

Postal Code H0H0H0,
Santaโ€™s orbit is a go.
From acres of frozen snow,
Rudolphโ€™s nose is seen aglow.
Kazoos would start to play
As children wait for the sleigh.

CanadianEh! said...

Sorry I didnโ€™t get back to comment. OMK- what a title. I gave up. And a grand concise haiku.

Owen- Wow is all I can say. Another masterpiece.

Misty- young r poem is quite imaginative today. That pilot knew how to choose his landing spots. And a family on top of the world - what a view!

The Wordle was very difficult today. I should have slept on it like WC. I gave up after the fifth guess and came here to read OMKโ€™s W poem. How did you get it in 3?

Misty said...

CanadianEh!", I'll now too always think of Rudolph with his nose aglow.

OMK, I thought of "too" thanks to your verse that I found so "you" and "true" and not a bit "blue."

Ol' Man Keith said...

CanadianEh! ~ I came back just to answer your queryโ€ฆ
I went from my starter ALOHA (because there hasnโ€™t been much call for โ€œOโ€ lately) to KABOB &
after thinking of the few remaining possibilities,
to KAZOO.
