The third rune


This pointy dental fricative
Has mainly been indicative
Of sharp botanical
Rebarbative spikes that
No one wants to encounter. YIKES!

Well...maybe


Undecided about his choice, there was
Hesitation in his voice.

Vintage Base Ball fans


They yelled
Huzzah! and
Rooted, those enthusiastic cranks
Of yore, for
Naught was better than a
Ginger to bring up the score.


In honor of the Hens and Roosters of Rochester, MN

                                              The Gold Hill girls’ base ball team, Boulder, Colorado circa 1890.

A sign


This two-letter preposition speaks
Of a verb form and direction.

Erstwhile 27th letter


And
More is implied
Per se in
Et and the symbol that
Represents it, for it once
Sealed the deal in the
Alphabet;
Now this handy ligature adds
Dash to a company’s signature.

Seventh for the third time: see 'si'


To sing it as ‘te’
Is to sing it as B.

The University of Minnesota Raptor Center


Ever so graceful in her
Airborne days, she now is
Grounded;
Loving helpers show great care, their
Efforts well founded.

This note, also known as B,
Exists in a musical family.

Family visit


We are totally
Elated – you’ll
Like feeling
Celebrated – that
Of all the places where you
Might vacation, you
Elected us your destination.

For Emma and Bryan

Thanx!


The thought expressed in this exclamation is
An informal show of appreciation.

Achieved a
Major victory!

Insane, erupt in elation well
On the road of celebration.

So many seasons of tears.

With great respect for all the dedicated fans of Cleveland teams.

It also sews thoughts together


Same or such or similar are a few
Of this word’s familiars.

Kingfisher


Hearing
About the
Lull, the winter time of
Calm, the myth attests that bird of 
Yore
On the ocean built her
Nest.

Solmization


Seventh is this musical note as
It precedes the final DO.

Yes, if you’re wondering, this is an alternate spelling of TI.

Walking in other shoes


Expanding
My
Perceptions and perspectives to
Attune with
Those of the universe, I
Hear, see, smell, touch, and taste
Your world.

Shush


Silence, please! Do be still!
Hush! Be quiet! You’re way too shrill!


Monday, June 13, 2016

One perspective


Exquisitely we float in a
Quality of
Unconditional observation,
Assuming
Nothing, one
In which we
Make space
Interacting with all of
The loving
You–, I–, and we–niverse.

Prague


Daring to
Eject men
From a window, they
Elected to begin a
New
Era of
Strife.
Thirty years of
Religious war
Accounted for great loss of life.
The structure of power
In Europe was totally rearranged; the Peace
Of Westphalia laid the foundation for
New sovereign nation-states.

For EMA and JRA. Thanks!

Quite vital is this inner force, for
It drives us as we walk life’s course.

Human infrastructure


Unobtrusive is the
Notion that a
Deep-rooted foundation of
Emotional intelligence – empathy,
Resilience, love, and
Patience –
Imparts to
New
Neighbors an
Infinite greeting; good-
Natured people, good society
Grows from
Solid ideas that everyone knows.

Thank you, Stacie A. for this word.

Pots of the chamber variety were
Often used for a wee-hour pee.

Tuning in to the positive


Perhaps when hurdles
Rise up
On our path, we could
Blink, then
Look again, seeing the
Elegance of
Making
This
Uninvited snag our
Next
Initiation into
The wide,
Yonder world of possibility.

Thank you JRA for coining this word!

Are we really so great?


How is it that in these
United States
Not every soul
Gets
Enough to eat
Regularly?

The 17th letter


Plosive in pronunciation, like ‘fe’ it
Evokes mindful conversation.

See post of March 16, 2016 for “Light through words” on ‘Fe.’

Please excuse me


Extricating ourselves from
Situations requires tactful
Conversation and a harmless
Attitude that some
People’s company we might want to
Elude.

Bent on yum!


Bready rings, toasted
And schmeared with cream cheese
Give
Every reason to cheer. And oh, if
Lox arrive on the scene with red onion –
Such is the flavor of dreams!

Woe


Oh what a brief, but laden word from
Yiddish throughout the world is heard.

Veracity


Homing in
On the truth is
Not always
Easy; it
Sometimes makes the
Teller queasy.
