Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(Unusual for me, I found these J-words made me pull both the title and footnote into the game. I imagined the narrator had need of a fake alibi—but was concerned that his story was weak, on particular grounds.
What’s going on here …?)
“Why Pursue This Ruse*?”
(*See the fn, but not till afterward.”
He’d settled on his
bluff; feared it would fail, not ‘cuz
it was vacant, but…*
~ OMK
____________
* … because it was Bust-able!
Funny how things work out. A drive in the rain leads to a new abode.
ReplyDeleteVacant house on bluff
Viewed through wiper-cleared windshield
Suitable price settled
"New Mother"
ReplyDeleteWendy needed a new wiper
to change her baby's diaper.
She could no longer bluff
that being a mother wasn't tough.
But her routines did quickly settle
as the carriage she did pedal.
Her vacant job had now been taken
and Wendy did happily awaken
each day to new tasks that were suitable.
Yes, loving her baby was indisputable.
Both of my poet-mates have charming successes today!
ReplyDeleteEach in her own style: CanadianEh in the atmospheric simplicity & eye perception of classic haiku, and Misty in couplets building a brief story line.
The former captures the viewpoint of a person changing her address on a rainy day (perhaps a realtor’s ad), and the latter showing a new mom’s adaptation to the rigors of bringing up baby!
BRAVA to both!

Ol' Man Keith, was your narrator busted or did he survive his bluff? I hope the latter.
ReplyDeleteCanadianEh!, hope your driver really liked the house he bought on the bluff.
Well, it's only 5 pm and it's already getting all dark outside. Have a good evening, everybody!
I am very late back today.
ReplyDeleteOMK- you made me think with that title, footnote, haiku. What a creation. Thanks.
Misty- I think we have laughed before over the wiper needed to change a diaper. Your new mother seems to be forging past those first few rough days and weeks, and settling into a nice routine with her baby. Ah, mother-love.
Thanks for the kind comments on my haiku. I used the other meaning of “bluff”.
