Open Link #292 and Linda has shared with us the word euphony or a form thereof. New words are always fun, and I’ve used it in a silly, jabberwockian ditty. Submitted to dVerse, May 13, 2021

EUPHONY
Behold! Forsooth!
There’s a raven on the roof
and he’s shouting “Nevermore”
Begone, foul bird
say nary a word
Edgar Allen lives next door.
So raven, my friend
it’s misled you’ve been
if you’re looking for Mr. Poe
remove yourself from my house
and, if she’s with you, your spouse
find somewhere else to go.
I crave a life harmonious
simple and euphonious
I’ve no patience for pretense
I want to live quietly
feel at peace nightly
yesterday, today and hence
Very nicely done Beverly! Talking to crows might get you in trouble with your family! LOL
ReplyDeleteI crave a life harmonious
ReplyDeletesimple and euphonious
How we love it not to be bothered unnecessarily. Very true Bev! Hank chose to include the word too. It sounds dignified and forthcoming

Very clever and funny, Beverly, those ravens are always looking for Mr. Poe!
ReplyDeleteWrong century as well as location!
ReplyDeleteAn enjoyable tribute to Poe, Bev, which made me smile!
ReplyDeleteDelightful and witty!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun poem; it made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteThis was lots of fun, just the antidote to Poe's poem!
ReplyDeleteRaven, our friend to the end! This rhyme is clever, poe-try.
ReplyDeleteJabberwockian ditty is a perfect description. Wonderful rhyme-scheme, and the message is very clear. Easy to sing this wonderful spring!
ReplyDeletean amuse bouche, as it were - enjoyable ~
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me with your fine, humorous take on a classic.
ReplyDeleteInharmony
Sinistrous
And murderous
Lunacy
Conspiracy
Casting pall
Your nightly call
Ebony
Cacophony
Out with thee
And let me be
Nevermore
To hear your lore
Make your home
With somber tomes
Writ by Poe
As you well know
