NOV 5, bar-fauna: lack of enlightenment

poetry lyrics:/ A comet, the Earth and the Moon/ Grab three barstools

 inside the saloon./ Never ordering, they shone;/ Hours passed, whereupon/ 

They get told, "Please don't come back too soon."

NOV 3, bi-lyrical limerick: 'disparity' (daughter and son)

poetry lyrics:/ A daughter they had (and a son):/ She loved water, (but he sailed for fun)./
She would swim (while he'd boat),/ More than him (while he'd gloat),/
A shy otter (his exploits would stun)./ She's a potter (for office, he'll run)./
Is this 'nature', or 'nurture', or none?

NOV 1, snowbird-nest (three more terse verses)

 

TODAY'S POEMS (17-syll. senryu *)

SNOWBIRD-NEST  #2

friends crave retirement;

price to install new shingles

risen through the roof.

Giorgio Coniglio

SNOWBIRD-NEST  #3

while we're far away,

agressive, unattended,

weeds take advantage.

Giorgio Coniglio

SNOWBIRD-NEST  #4

Formosan termites,

swarming reproductive forms

make our house their nest.

Giorgio Coniglio

* learn more HERE about senryu, a term that designates a lesser-known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature.

OCT 25, submitted palindromes: RANDOM PILES 46

 

You have reached the "Submitted Palindromes" thread on the blog "Daily Edifying Nonsense", a light literary entity that emanates through the blogosphere daily (almost), i.e. 30 times per month.

  On the 25th of each month you will find a slide-filling group of palindromic phrases submitted to the editors by a panel of 7 palindromists. These folks have all been working on this project since January 2020. The personal profiles for each of these contributors are displayed in panels published here at the start of things, and then, we have asked them to provide (palindromically, of course) their views on one of the iconic items in the classic literature, starting with "A man, a plan, a canal -- Panama", continuing with other well-known phrases, such as "Dennis sinned". Otherwise, their contribution will be grouped in monthly random piles (a phrase that you might recognize as an anagram of the word p-a-l-i-n-d-r-o-m-e-s).

You can access this delightful entertainment right here by entering submitted palindromes in one of the two search bars at the top of this post and scrolling downwards through the wordplay posts that you will discover, OR, just follow the links indicated above. 

Devotees of palindromic wordplay can further explore limericks and other short verses about the classic palindromes (and quite a few recent concoctions) that are randomly scattered on this blog after September 2000, or collected into grouped postings on our more scholarly blog "Edifying Nonsense" -- start HERE.  

OCT 23, travel reviews: INN-coherence

poetry lyrics:/ It's historically themed -- Inn-Coherence,/ With the lobby's

colonial appearance;/ But the rooms on each floor/ Sport cheap post-war decor,/ 

Belying consistent adherence.
