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.

Seventh

This note, also known as B,

Exists in a musical family.

Here is yet another spelling of the familiar ‘ti’ (aka ‘si’).

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.

NBA Finals

Cleveland’s Cavs

Have won it –WOW! –  

Achieved a

Major victory!

POW! Their fans,

Insane, erupt in elation well

On the road of celebration.

Now is their turn for CHEERS! after

So many seasons of tears.

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

Happy Father’s Day!

Patriarchs on this date

Adoring families celebrate.

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!

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.

"...drop of golden sun"

Read as a D, it precedes

E.

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!

Breath

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.

When ya gotta go...

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.
