Cask, pit, hollow

Clever that the

U shows clearly this word’s

Particular history.

In cooking

Olives were once

Its primary source, this savory

Liquid lipid, of course.

Monophyletic group

Certainly

Large in number

Are the

Descendants of

Even a single branch.

Memorial Day

Holding them in high esteem, we

Observe across the

Nation the sacrifices

Of those who have served,

Respecters of obligation.

Unicorn lore

North, way up in

Arctic waters lives this

Really interesting

Whale; its

Helical tusk is

An elongated tooth,

Likened to unicorns in

Shepard’s tale.

See Odell Shepard’s The Lore of the Unicorn.

Juan de Fuca, for example

Feasting at fun musical

Events,

Shopping in the vendors’

Tents, dancing

In the closed-off streets, and

Viewing

Artwork is a delightful,

Leisurely long weekend treat.

Celebrity

Fabulous accomplishments give

A person renown,

Making him or her popular,

Each with rings, trophies, crowns.

Global

Coming together

On

Matters concerning all

Makes diplomacy more

Of a

Naturally mindful call.

Passages

Can the reader

Look at the

Overall text, then

Zip through those blanks?

Easy or complex?

Party time

What time’s the party?

Half past five? Until

Eleven?

No. I’ll drive.

When

All this time since

Last I saw you, I

Wonder where you

Are. And that’s okay.

Yes! Memories of love never

Seem to venture far.

Faster than jogging

Reaching a goal with

Unusual speed, in a foot race is quite

Natural, indeed.

Way to go, A. and E.!

"Rose tree"

Related to the

Heath family, evergreen

Or

Deciduous, its

Ornamental

Display

Every spring

Never

Disappoints; a

Riot

Of color decorates the Pacific

Northwest landscape.

Happy Rhody Festival 2018, Port Townsend, WA!

"Pore bearer"

Sessile beings that

Process

Ocean water have no

Nervous system; they

Grow as calm and

Easy as they oughtter.

NOT of the cyber variety

These creatures

Represent a fear

Of what’s not understood,

Looking perhaps

Less desirable than people think they

Should.

Please continue

Please check the

Unusual beat of this

Life force flowing down to my feet; it

Seems to go first fast, then slow. It

Even stops sometimes…oh no!

Out of India?

Unusual, like the arctic

Narwhal,

Is this

Creature’s single horn;

Old texts said it could

Render wellness, but of its fierce

Nature be forewarned.

Tone

Her colorful self is intriguing and

Unique; in each

Encounter listen fully when

She speaks.

Wort

Here’s what gives

Each

Recipe flavor; Mother Earth’s

Bountiful plants provide

Superb savor.

Only a few

Rooted in separateness,

A scarcity of something will

Rocket its value when

Everyone wants one.

Cushioning thoughts

Plump

It up,

Lay down your head,

Let dreams flow

On

When you’re cozy in bed.

Weepiness

Torrents or trickles are

Encouraged by

A host of

Reasons, and when we cry, it’s

Salty water that seeps from our eyes.

Confidence

Fervently

Abiding

In trust of something

Tends to make one’s mind and

Heart want to sing.

Thanks, Tracy, for suggesting this word.

Mainly yellow

Dotting the landscape,

A toothed leaf flower

Never gives up; its

Dominant power is its

Ever present puffs of

Life-sustaining,

Insistent fluff. Lawn-

Owners really find it rough,

Never quite getting rid of the

Stuff.

Start again

Reflexive

Emotions can

Stop plaguing us when we

Elect, our attention

To redirect.

Attitude

Terrifically feisty, our dear

Unique grandma

Taught

Us

To challenge

Ubiquitous

Dreams; ours were to be more self-

Expressed, it would seem.

Gentle

Possibly

Alleviating end-of-

Life suffering with simple,

Loving care

Is the best

Answer to

That

Existential question we all share.

Keeping strong

Very long

Into this rainy night,

Guided by

Intense

Love, we watch by candlelight.

Office essential

Pages neatly

Arranged are

Particularly

Easy to

Receive when

Collated using this

Lightweight device; as an

Integral tool it’s

Perceived.

How slow can you go?

Symbols of slowness, by

Nature they creep

Along

In silence,

Leaving a

Silver thread.

M'aidez

How

Easily we can

Lend aid to

People.

The call for help mayday is unrelated to the First of May holiday.
