EUPHONY

 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

    How we love it not to be bothered unnecessarily. Very true Bev! Hank chose to include the word too. It sounds dignified and forthcoming

  11. You've inspired me with your fine, humorous take on a classic.

    Inharmony

    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

    simple and euphonious."💝💝
