Words of Whimsy and Wit by Lferion

Vertical - Poems of Fun and Fancy

Five half drabble verses, each of which can stand alone, one for each column.

Waistcoat Wander Free Space Wild Wield

__________________________________

Oh wander away, in your waistcoat of green
To wild mountains grey, free and unseen
Amid the affray, wield well your voice keen
As night becomes day, in spaces between
For none will you stay, Not High King nor queen
But sing of the May, what might and has been.

Winter Wane Want Warm Wake

__________________________________

Slow wanes the winter, yet quickens the spring
Old ice will splinter, the bluebells will ring
Warmth from far hinter the sun doth now bring
Where hail did a-dinter, new leaves wake and cling
What want caused to sinter, now gathers to sing
Colors a-tinter, bourne up on bright wing

Wruxled Waiting Wain Wick Wandreth

__________________________________

Oh heavy the wain, slow drawn from afar
O'er vale, wood, and lane, no mountain will bar
Well wruxled 'gainst rain, no wandreth doth mar
No waiting in vain to bargain and spar:
What would you obtain? Lamp wick, rose attar?
Such fine goods to gain from Dale and Rhudaur!

Waggle Wallop Water Wasp Warlock

__________________________________

Ducks they will waggle, and wasps they will swarm
Warlocks will haggle and curse up a storm
Water will draggle the proudest of form
Goats they will straggle and eat every corm
So wallop that gaggle, but keep them all warm
And hope you can snaggle the dragon named Orm

Whole Wampum Walrus Walnut Walm

Oh let the light walm, the shadows subside
Whole cart-loads of calm will not slow the tide
With wampum and balm the walrus will bide
And nary a qualm will quiver or hide
Neath walnut or palm, nor fea sad decide
To lie 'neath the malm, but will dragonflies ride.
