Time for a brand-new #Scrabblegram! 🔠 (I've posted older 'grams the past 3 months) So, could we maybe start rewarding #cleanenergy instead of #fossilfuels? 😳 #wildfires #smoke #airquality #climate #scrabble #wordplay #commentary Photo: DarrenRD, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons

FOOTBALL (Palindrome) See referees idle, if dim. A deep’s too far…. A ball! A cross! I’m onside. Sure. Peek a busied art: It's open on one post. I trade: I sub a keeper. Used is no miss or call. A bar! A footspeed! A midfield! I see referees.

A moment of sunrise-brainstorming Shifts view from the vision conforming; Intention-selective In choice of perspective: A musical staff in the morning. #Limericks

Sunrise, turning the clouds suddenly golden against a pale blue sky; a building, a tree, and a set of power lines are also visible. This was a moment from a morning walk last week. The power lines had seemed at first to obscure the surprisingly vivid view a bit; however, with five of them in sequence, they ultimately suggested a musical staff.
