If You Grow Up In A Bubble, Be Cautious How You Burst

Bubble Life

by Rachel Hoyt

When you're inside looking out,

They don't hear you when you shout.

Opaque walls trap every sound,

From soaking into the ground.

Thoughts bounce around gaining strength,

Hoping to fly to great lengths.

When it pops and all falls down,

Spills into life's cracks and frowns,

Sounds begin to tap on ears,

Thoughts wig out and jump off piers,

The bubble ceases to be,

But that which it'd trapped lives to roam free.

I read of the "first female Massai warrior"

and wondered what the Massai gals thought of her.

Wacky Word Wednesday - Chary

Chary

Chary, like wary,

is caution one carries -

wisdom to bury

thoughts some find scary.

Wary is chary.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.

Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.

And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Tails

Bouts Rimés means "rhymed ends" in French and is a game or challenge where one person (me) makes a list of rhymed words and others (you) write the lines that end with those rhymes, in the same order in which they were given. It was known as Crambo in English and was quite popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Will you help me bring back this hip historical habit?

 

 

Tails

Swing

Trip(s)

Slip(s)

Tales

Sing

 

 

Above are the words.

Get writing rhyme nerds!

There will be no winner. This is just for fun

and the joy of rhyming a smile for everyone.
