Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(I was watching The Deepest Breath, about the dangers of competitive free diving.
It is easy enough to know the path one should follow into the deep blacknessโas long as the rope is within reach.
But two lives were lost chasing fame.
You do itโif you do it at allโon a single breath, this more thanโฆ)
โHateful Mappyโ
Dark waters comma,
black depths claim nearly all air.
She got her trophy.

Hark the Herald
He deserves a trophy,
For he made over 6500 hymns,
Nearly all with depth of theology
And command of poetry that never dims.
For a Christmas one letโs look,
Taken from the carol book!
The โSheโ in my poem is Alessia Zecchini, who set a world record of 104 meters straight down and back on a single breath. She survived at the cost of her safety diverโs life.
Charles Wesley is CanadianEhโs prolific composer.
(Nobody knows how many breaths he took for all those hymns!)

"Dreaming"
Patty's dream was filled with commas,
while she slept in her pajamas.
But in spite of her dream's depth,
she still peacefully had slept.
When she woke up she started to sing
because her dream had triggered a hymn,
which nearly made her happy
even if it was just a little sappy.
The dream would never a trophy win
but at least it triggered a lovely hymn.
I canโt recall ever dreaming up a hymn, as Mistyโs Patty does. It may take a special skill, or maybe itโs the pajamasโฆ
Say, maybe that was Charles Wesleyโs secret!
6500 doesnโt seem so many if they came to him in his dreams! Music AND words!
It makes one wonderโwhether they might come while nodding off, or in full REM sleep.
It would be just my luck, Iโd get a great hymn, and then couldnโt remember it.
~ OMK
OMK, I'm glad Alessia survived. Hope she got a trophy for her feat. And thank you for identifying Charles Wesley as the composer of all those hymns.
And, CanadianEh!, it's neat that you pointed out that Wesley's commitment had to be theology, since he wrote all those hymns. I just looked him up and was surprised to see him with his white haired--can't remember what it's called. So he lived from 1707-1788.
The things you learn on this blog--amazing!
OMK- I will echoMisty โthe things we learnโ. I was not aware of competitive free diving. I could never do that. I fear the the desire to win might cause divers to push themselves to unsafe levels. Your haiku evokes images of that black depth.
Misty- we should all have a dream with commas! And the resulting hymns must be beautiful. What a wonderfully imaginative poem.
I decided to honour the season (yes I am decorating- I did my porch pots today). When I saw Charles Wesleyโs name in the J, I remembered he wrote carols as well as hymns.
