Patterns Hinted at in Dreams for dVerse Poets, Jan 28, 2025
Clearing The Deck
What does one do when they wake up at 5 AM after 4 1/2 hours of sleep and can’t get back to sleep again? Too lazy to go out and do more exercises in my pool, I decided to clear off my computer desktop which has once again become completely covered. In doing so, I found these favorite photos which over the past few weeks I have discovered in other places and put on the desktop in case I need them. Here they are, given a purpose, so I can again stash them away.
If you have questions about the photos, ask, and If you decide to do the same, send me a link!!!

Scrabble Quibbles for RDP Jan 27, 2025
Scrabble Quibbles
Scrabble Quibbles
I move the tiles back and forth but still I cannot lick
the secret to which words may be made from my weird pick.
I cannot spell “memorial” without another “m,”
so instead I settle and simply spell out “rim.”
Before too long I find another perfect word to make,
but, alas, I do not have the “u” to spell out quake.
I spy the final “u” when my opponent shifts her rack,
and so I skip my turn to return some letters back.
And this segment of the story will prove I was to blame
when my sister drew the “q” and spelled out “quick” to win the game!
Note: the photo of the Scrabble board is of a real game, although not the one described in the poem. The reason I took the photo is because of the very unlikely occurrence of the word “urinate” showing up twice on the same board. What are the chances of not only having the right tiles to spell the same 7 letter word twice but also finding a place to play them?
The prompt for RDP Monday is Quibble

“Shore Leave” for The Sunday Whirl # 691, Jan 26, 2025
Shore Leave
Calm cliffs rise up from beastly seas to soothe a sailor’s mind,
and rolling hills make memories of a different kind.
Though blades of grass may mimic the sway of restless swells,
more timid winds shake music from a string of tiny bells
woven through the tree limbs and stroke music from thin bars
sticking up out of the earth, topped off by tiny jars
that lips of breezes play like flutes to create harmony
under the stars that sets the hearts of land-bound sailors free.
These scenes that meet their gazes dispel dark memories
of months of troubled dreaming on tempest-tossed wild seas
Painting by Juan Antonio Pérez Ayala
For The Sunday Whirl Wordle 691 today’s words to use are: bell mimic blade gaze hills jar soothe mind stars timid beastly sea
Making up Words, for Sunday Confessionals, Jan 26, 2025
Trump-headedness is my made-up word and the definition is: A mental condition during which one spouts facts contrary to the truth in order to further one’s own welfare, ego or pocketbook.
For Sunday Confessionals, we were asked to create a new word for the dictionary.
