This Weeks Wordle.
superlative,wound, prior, solid, bottom, patches, concupiscence, charge, extirpate, pipe.
The challenge is to use all the words in a short verse ( the shorter the better) making some sort of sense and magical poetry. The weekly winners will proceed to a semi final of a 15 wordle. The final between two competitors will be a 25 wordle.The winner of this will receive a prize. A condition of accepting the prize is the winner must take a photograph of himself/herself with the prize which will be displayed on my blog!
So good luck everyone.Only one competitor so far, so she has probably got the camera set up already!
Here's mine
ReplyDelete'Fair Game'
Prior to the assault charge
her intellect was superlative
wound in a tight coil
solid as a meerschaum pipe
She was also a looker
The floral patches on her jeans
pressed to her curvaceous bottom
caused outbreaks of concupiscence
amongst her lecherous colleagues
It would take some time to extirpate
the demons from her lacerated psyche
Prior Patches
ReplyDeletefollowed his pipe
and one more superlative
bottom.
Concupisence, not extirpated,
in solid charge.
Okay, I wouldn't call that "magical", but you'll have to admit it's economical.
ReplyDeleteoops left out a line
ReplyDeletePrior Patches,
followed his pipe
and one more superlative bottom
concupiscence, not extirpated,
wound up
in solid charge
Whoooeeee!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if the formatting will work, and if it doesn't that's a shame, but this is better, if wordier
I washed the dishes
pipe the patched pipe,
crash the bottom cymbal
changed the sheets
sound concupiscience.
extirpate the soiled symbol
got a splinter from that damn broom
sound the wound,
charge the pain superlative
but now the place is in clean
resound the prior drum
chant the solid changes
Halelujah!
Halelujah!
Just For You, All Those Wurdles I’m Blending -
ReplyDelete“Not ‘pipe’. Magritte meant ‘bottom’”, elle a jested.
“I charge you! Extirpate les threads et patches
de toutes vos posts! Leave the prior, sad, solid basis
de votre vie, all wound about with paradox and math.
Delight’s in concupiscence, mon cher Doc.
So visit Oz! I am its Wizard. I am superlative!”
(Concupisence won’t bluddi scan properly and in any case, I’m not sure what it means. Nor extirpate neither. But then,
I just a bluddi ignorant Pomme, innit?)
Not that I think that I'm a winner, but...
ReplyDeleteThe picture thing does it for me..now I'd have to get a new camera, scanner, jeez, writing is hard enough..I'm falling by the wayside, and I can't get up !!
Al..you're one genius who lets it all hang out!
I wanna play!
ReplyDeletecourse, I'm going to have to go look up those words first...
whew!! here's my try:
ReplyDelete:: self-defense ::
the pipe / solid
wound superlative
(arising as it did on the bottom of his skull)
prior charges extirpated
her conviction was more liquid than solid
held together with string and patches
of judicial concupiscence
::
Ah Doc,the sweet charm of the Pomme... c'est incroyable...good to have you on board!
ReplyDeleteThe words are going to be big and hard Angie.
ReplyDeleteJust think of it as somethng good for you(like eating your greens.)
And two from Ms smarty pants Briarcat (both good).Brown Pear of Brown Pear and Buttercup Inc.will be a judge this week.
ReplyDeleteMr.B Pear has a distinguished and varied literary background. He now spends most of his days contemplating the contents of rockpools.
Oh, when is the deadline?
ReplyDeleteI'm running it concurrently with RWP
ReplyDeleteGet your Poem On postings (Thursday).
Hope you are going to join in!
There was me in a brand new whistle,
ReplyDeleteSolid as a pipe all patches stitched.
My concupiscence stiff from my bottom,
All superlatives henceforth ditched.
Prior to this I was in charge,
My wounds all healed, my hormones itched.
Met a girl so full of flatulence
My urges extirpated, my sex bewitched.
(Yeah? Well, I am a Brit!)
Yes Cecil Jeeves Duffy we all know about the
ReplyDeleteBritish preoccupation with the fundament.I
blame the Norman invasion.
Cecil Jeeves? hmmm, it does have a certain ring to it!
ReplyDeleteYes I like it.You need to grow a pencil thin moustache, wear a monocle and stutter over certain words to complete the picture.Something you might consider when you are a little older.
