Silly is
As silly does
So silly does as silly
Says on a silly Saturday
So silly!
Cinquain
Trying to be “silly” today and this poem ended up as a bit of a “Tonque Twister”! 😊

Sometimes
You need to be silly
Featherbrained
Harebrained
Just a little bit childish
It’s just simply fun

“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good” —Dr. Seuss
This New Year I created a daily Art Challenge in my Instagram account. Each day of the week has a different prompt.
Saturday’s prompt is “Silly Saturday”.
Gee, I was surprised that I had such a hard time being creatively silly! I guess I am always so focused on making meaningful art and poetry that I find it hard to just create something non-sensical. However, I kept trying and did come up with something.
It helped to read some Dr. Seuss and Alice in Wonderland 😊

Not So Sweet Sounds
Hello Miss Kitty
Dressed in your Christmas pretty
Singing a little ditty
All about the the city
Sounds kinda gritty
What a pity
Rhyme
Leaves at Play
Nature’s
Fall games
Yellow
Races red
Wind quits
No winners
Syllabic Verse
It was a fairly windy warm Fall day today and I enjoyed being outside just watching the wind blowing the leaves around. I missed out on getting a video of a group of leaves dancing as I didn’t have my camera ready in time but it was awesome to see them swirl and twirl together in sort of a whirlwind burst of air.
But I did capture another video of them looking like they were racing each other as a big gust of wind blew them along. Fun day! 😊
Worth?
Some thoughts are worth
More than just a penny.
That’s just my two cents
Senryu
Based on the idioms: “ A Penny For Your Thoughts” and “Putting In My Two Cents”
Satisfy Your Thirst
Slack—Slake
Don’t slack—Do slake
Be a slaker, not a slacker
Do you see? Drop the C, and then add an E
Slake it
Cinquain
Slake is “The Word of the Day” at dictionary.com
“Slake means “to lessen or allay something by satisfying it.” While we can slake our curiosity, desire, hunger, or anger, we most commonly say we slake our thirst.
Slake comes from Middle English slaken “to mitigate, allay, moderate, lessen one’s efforts,” from Old English slacian “to slacken.” Old English slacian is a verb based off the adjective sleac, slæc, variously meaning “loose, lazy, careless, sluggish, lax (of conduct),” which by Middle English (as slac, slak) narrowed to the sense of “loose, not tight,” the principal sense of its modern form, slack, today.
Old English sleac (via Germanic slak-) derives from the Proto-Indo-European root (s)lēg-, which, in its Latin variants, ultimately yielded such English words as languid, languish, lax, lease, release, and relax.
Once again, etymology offers an important life lesson: it’s best not to languish, so slake your thirst—with a beverage of your choice—and relax, but don’t be too lax about it and slack off.”
Word Origin—quoted from Dictionary.com)
11:11
I often see the time 11:11 on clocks
Some think it’s a angelic sign
Some say it’s promising sucess
But really, it’s not either of those
It’s telling me I’m late to work
