Friday Photo Fun - Something Sun Loving

Something Sun Loving

by Rachel Hoyt

Lives life in hopes of touching the sun,

but is satisfied with twelve or less feet of fun.

A single stem beauty composed of many blooms.

Full of the nectar its lover, the bee, consumes.

Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,

or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.

After the answer is guessed, I will post a second, non-abstract photo...
and just in case you wanted to know,
the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -
they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon

Bryan was able to guess right away
that Sunflowers were the abstractified object of the day.

Thursday Thoughts - Knights and Chivalry

Sir Vincent Gabriel Kirouac of Quebec,

I wish I could give you a kiss on the cheek - a peck.

At a time when single gals everywhere wonder

if their dreams for a knight in shining armor have gone asunder,

alone you ride as a symbol of our dreams,

stitching our hopes together at the seams.

What will you do when your quest is complete?

I know you'll still behave chivalrous and sweet,

but will you get a so called 'real job'

or become the world's latest heart throb?

You could keep riding and test my nation's hospitality

but I'm not sure that the U.S. would be as kind to thee.

Your first challenge would be sharing the road

with a bunch of speeders who love to squash toads.

Next you would have to find a place with a yard

where your horse could rest (which could be hard).

The homeless shelters don't allow animals to stay

and most homeowners don't have barns where he could lay.

I understand if you don't want to gallop on down

and will try not to change my smile to a frown.

You are certainly doing your share to show you care

if the world is kind, compassionate and fair.

The ingenuitive scrappers here are more selfish

and yet they too are praised for what they accomplish.

May your quest remain noble and many copy your style!

Sincerely,

Rachel Hoyt

Wacky Word Wednesday - Augury

Augury

by Rachel Hoyt

An augury

is a sign you see

that might make you feel tingly.

It's an omen of what's to be

if you believe the world shows thee

through the occasional augury.

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.
