REFLECTIVE ROSE (a palindrome)🌹 Hello, wordplay friends! I miss you all, hope everyone is well. I'm still mostly off of social media, but wordplay is meant to be shared. Here is a new palindrome (a revision / expansion of one I toyed with a couple of years ago). Enjoy. 😊 #palindrome

Reflective Rose - inspired by The Little Prince

I'm a rose, yes, or am I?

Rosy-awed, I smiled at, I craftily admired lost lovers.
Sent I was, a pure veneer,
Felt sacred – now red, now redder still...

A flare! Tall autumn robe regalia.
Fireworks! I rail, I toss, I tier.
It is all a field arcadian, a dopamine dragon’s eye.

Cindery burn-ups – warming is Eden.
If a fox I made with gilded light,
I wed a mix of a fine design.

I’m raw-spun, ruby-red nice. Yes?
No garden – I’m a pod, an aid, a cradle.
I fall as I tire. It is so.

‘Til I, a risk-rower, I fail – age reborn.
Mutual lateral fall, it's redder,
"Wonder! Wonder! Castle-free!"

Never up as a witness revolts.
Older, I'm daylit.
Far citadel, I'm sideways…

Or I'm a rose. Yes, or am I?

Thanksgiving
(Scrabblegram by David Cohen)

I realized every day will be
a Thanksgiving, not with
expensive meals, a banquet
of food, or cornucopia...
just more gratitude.

Hello Bluesky world, I don't know if I'll regularly post here, but there was once a time when I loved to make and share Scrabblegrams*. Here's one about a butterfly. 🦋 *a Scrabblegram uses each of the 100 Scrabble tiles exactly once #butterfly, #bluesky, #wordplay, #scrabblegram, #scrabble

I begin
as larva.

I grow,
a juvenile sequestered
in a cozy cocoon dorm.

I wake up
and exit,
metamorphosed,
a butterfly
in flight.

Blanks: C, M
