Bumbling Bumblebee (2020 Re-post)

---

Blenda the bumptious bumpkin bumblebee bumbled back and forth bumming nectar from bees.

Before long, the bees barrelled and bumped into Blenda. “Back away from our blossoms”, they buzzed.

Boring bees, a bummed out Blenda thought. Perchance the botanist holds a bumbling bumblebee beloved.

Re-post comment:

As autumn cold nips every night and morning now. I thought this little alliteration Quadrille with it’s taste of summer was a good re-post for this week’s Wandering the Archives Wednesday.

Enjoy!

Quadrille Monday over at dVerse. And I went a bit bananas with the word bum in a myriad forms.

Harriet the Heartless Harridan – A Quadrille

---

Harriet the heartless harridan was heartbroken.
Her husband had happened to hear her hawking love potions.
And now his behest was that she herself had a sip.
Harriet pleaded, but he was head and heartstrong.
Now Harriet is known as the heart healing hedgewitch.

Written for tonight’s Quadrille prompt over at dVerse. That, dear to my heart, little poem form of just 44 words, excluding the title. And including a given word. Tonight the word is heart. As soon as I read that the words” Harriet the heartless harridan” popped into my mind and I knew it was time for another alliteration Quadrille.

Casanova comes closer
Celebrated curves charm
Lips cherry colored
Cobalt eyes cajole
Clothes, composure convey carefree confidence
Concealing clingy charcoal chemise
Careful charisma conspire
Channeling close connection
Compassionate carnal company
Clarion cavalry call
Come cherished cupid
Come closer
Come conquer
Come champion
Come climax

Penguin Patrick

The impossibly positive Penguin Patrick
Applied to dance school to pursue a new passion

I wanna pose and plié
I wanna pirouette and perform
Piped Patrick pleasantly

The Piano played a Paso Doble
Patrick popped and pogoed

People always say
The possibilities are perpetual

It’s Quadrille Monday over at dVerse, and I couldn’t pass over the possibility for some fun. :-)

Information on some of the dance terms can be found here. Or ask!

If you want to know what inspired this idea I saw this clip and laughed, a lot, earlier today.

Faun Fanny

Paul Brill / Public domain

Fabulous faun Fanny foraged for fauns favorite fungus.
Flummoxed Fanny found a fixer-upper farm. Fallow fields fading.
A fellow faun, as farmhand and future forever fiance, farmed flax and fixed fences for four footed fleecy Faroes.
Fanny found farm-life frivolity fit Fauna’s family favorably.

It’s Quadrille Moday over at dVerse. The Quadrille is 44 words not counting the title and with a prompt word that have to be included in the poem.

This weeks word is – Fix

I decided on some levity and went with an alliteration. Which made me find a sheep bread called Faroe sheep.

Wild words

When wild women
Walk writer warrior word way
Willow wand waft wildwood Wonder
Weave whimsical wordsmith wreath
Witchy warcry warble
Wild wolf wisdom within weal
Who wash wrongdoers weight
Warm wonder within wayward women
Walk wild witchy wood wander way
Writing word wonders waits
