Today I am tired and un-energetic. And I wanted to re-use an old poem for our topic CLAM.
I distinctly remember having written a witty poem on "A Clam Before the Storm" which after much thinking solved itself as a CALM, and not a CLAM.
But search as I may, I cannot find it. Maybe it's one of the very few posts, I lost once Blogger buckled.
-- -- --
I dag har jeg ingen energi til at skrive et digt. Dagens stikord er CLAM = musling.
For mange år havde vi et stikord til et eller andet, hvor nogen havde skrevet om "The CLAM before the storm". Det betyder "muslingen inden (eller foran) stormen". Det tog lang tid, før det gik op for mig, at det var en stavefejl, og at CLAM skulle have været CALM og dermed betød det "Stilhed før stormen".
Da fejlen gik op for mig, skrev jeg et morsomt digt om det ... og det har jeg nu brugt lang tid på at lede efter. Det må være et af de meget få opslag, jeg mistede, engang Blogger gik ned.
Så der kommer ikke noget digt i dag!

Halloween is approaching. Maybe that's why Blogger is again banishing old comments to spam-limbo. I'll get them out!
It seems Blogger is also once agan deleting my comments here and elsewhere ... that's worse.

Poetry Monday :: X-ray Vision
Mandagsdigt :: Røntgensyn
Poetry Monday is a blogging challenge started by Diane @ On the Border in February 2017; later it was picked up by Delores @ Mumblings and Jenny @ Procrastinating Donkey.
Then Dolores took over the hosting duties; but when Dolores left the internet, Diane returned and took over hosting duty again with her and Jenny taking turns suggesting a topic.
Now Mimi @ Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over, as Diane seems disinclined to take up Poetry Monday again.
The prompts are now taken from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a (drawing) prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog. And they mostly lend themselves perfectly for poeming as well.
I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Today the prompt is X-ray Vision A shortie about one of my favourite child time heroes:
Super Goofy has X-ray vision.
He has this, and he has a mission:
Bring scoundrels in to meet their doom
Keep Duckburg free of crime and gloom.
* * * * * * * * *
På dansk
Røntgensyn. Et underligt vers om en af mine yndlings-superhelte er hvad det kunne blive til i denne omgang Verset tager udgangspunkt i en rude i Anders And & Co. nok tilbage fra først i 70'erne.
Supermule har røntgensyn,
han holder slyngler væk fra byen.
Hans supersyn ser nat og dag.
Engang så så han jorden rundt
på mindre end et splitsekund.
Forbrydere han ikke så
Han svæved' mens han kigged' på
sin egen røde buksebag.

Poetry Monday :: Contents of the Safe
Uglemor undskylder. På grund af travlhed er der ikke noget på dansk i dag.
Poetry Monday is a blogging challenge started by Diane @ On the Border in February 2017; later it was picked up by Delores @ Mumblings and Jenny @ Procrastinating Donkey.
Then Dolores took over the hosting duties; but when Dolores left the internet, Diane returned and took over hosting duty again with her and Jenny taking turns suggesting a topic.

Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Today the prompt is Contents of the Safe. As I'm very busy these days - WfW might have to wait until Friday - I'm in for a repeat.
A bit more than two years ago - August 12, 2024 - I wrote this for the prompt: Cabinet, I hope it works for a safe as well, I reworked it a bit.
Here in my safe I have things on display
Driftwood and gemstones and eggs on a tray
Sea glass and marbles and crabs' claws and stones
Dice of all kinds, stamps, and feathers and bones.
Buttons and postcards and cups with a chip
Bracelets, mementoes and a tiny ship.
Candy bags even, and coins, and a ring
A gold tessera from a graveyard in spring.
All is not costly and nothing for sale,
Many are worn and they all tell a tale,
Memories of places and people I've met
And from a tourney a winners' rosette.
Much of my life is encased in this place,
but there is one thing that it cannot keep safe.
It's something that fits me as well as a glove:
My family that always surround me with love.

Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Today the prompt is Rocket. A word with at least two meanings.
Mom called us in, "Now come and eat!"
We asked: "What is for dinner?"
"Chicken and noodles and rocket as a treat!"
A rocket - this news was a winner.
We hurried in. Asked: "Where is it"
"Where is what?" mom said, "Now wash and sit!"
We did as asked, Expectations great.
"The rocket is there, right on your plate!"
It was a disappointment great.
No fire, no starbursts, no sparkling lights
And as we sat, the green stuff ate,
it was bitter even in smallest bites.
"Never again," we swore "will we
partake of this or trust in thee."
Og så på dansk!
Mandagsdigtet er en blogleg, som blev startet af Diane fra On the Border i februar 2017; senere blev den videreført af Delores fra Mumblings og Jenny fra Procrastinating Donkey.
Derefter overtog Delores værtsrollen; men da Delores forlod internettet, vendte Diane tilbage og overtog værtsrollen igen, hvor hun og Jenny skiftevis foreslog et emne.
Nu har Mimi fra Messymimi's Meanderings og jeg så overtaget, da Diane ikke synes at have lyst til at genoptage Poetry Monday.
Stikordene hentes nu fra 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts. Det er en Facebook-gruppe med et (tegne-)stikord for hver dag i året, men bare rolig, stikordene vil stadig være her og på Mimis blog. Og de egner sig for det meste også perfekt til at skrive digte om.
Jeg har en opfordring til jer: Hvis I læser dette og andres digte via linkene, vil I så ikke være så søde at skrive en kommentar?
Halvdelen – hvis ikke mere – af det sjove ved disse udfordringer er at modtage andres reaktioner.
I dag er stikordet Rocket, der betyder mindst to ting Raket og Rucola
Måske får jeg også skrevet et digt på dansk senere i dag.

Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Today the prompt is Bonfire which did not speak to me. And then I looked at the date and realised that Elephant's Child left this world today a year ago. Then I ran out of steam.
In Canberra, where EC lived, it's now once again time for the Floriade, the spring festival. She often visited, and in 2024, she took this wonderful picture of a kangaroo and her joey. The statue is a permanent fixture.

I 2024 var hun, som så ofte før, på Floriade, forårsfestivallen i Canberra, hvor hun boede, og tog dette herlige billede af en kænguru med sin unge. Det er en statue, der altid står der i parken.

Today the prompt is Beach huts which fast turned into Little beach huts, and then this happened. We do have beach huts in Denmark as well, and like almost everything here they are strictly regulated. No enlargements, no additions, no electricity, and no running water. I never really got the point in having a beach hut. After reading more about it, I still do not get it.
Beach huts
Little beach huts by the seaside,
little beach huts made of wood and timber
little beach huts by the seaside,
little beach huts colourful.
There's a blue one, and a green one
and a striped one and a yellow one,
Painted houses made of timber
and they seldom look the same.
But the people in the beach huts
they go bathing just like you and me
All the people in the beach huts
little people, all the same.
There's a tall one, and a short one,
and a thin one and a flabby one.
Little people in the beach huts,
little people, all the same.
Why do people have a beach hut
not a towel just like you and me.

Mandagsdigtet er en blogleg, som blev startet af Diane fra On the Border i februar 2017; senere blev den videreført af Delores fra Mumblings og Jenny fra Procrastinating Donkey.
Derefter overtog Delores værtsrollen; men da Delores forlod internettet, vendte Diane tilbage og overtog værtsrollen igen, hvor hun og Jenny skiftevis foreslår et emne.
Nu har Mimi fra Messymimi's Meanderings og jeg overtaget, da Diane ikke synes at have lyst til at genoptage Poetry Monday.
Stikordene hentes nu fra 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts. Det er en Facebook-gruppe med et (tegne-)stikord for hver dag i året, men bare rolig, stikordene vil stadig være her og på Mimis blog. Og de egner sig for det meste også perfekt til at skrive digte om.
Jeg har en opfordring til jer: Hvis I læser dette og andres digte via linkene, vil I så ikke være så søde at skrive en kommentar?
Halvdelen – hvis ikke mere – af det sjove ved disse udfordringer er at modtage andres reaktioner.
I dag er stikordet Badehuse, hvilket hurtigt blev til »Små kabiner«, og så skete det her. Jeg har aldrig rigtig forstået pointen med at have et badehus. Efter at have læst mere om det, forstår jeg det stadig ikke.
Badehuse
Små kabiner, tæt ved stranden,
badehuse, skabt af træ og tagpap,
små kabiner, tæt ved stranden
Så forskellige de er.
Der' et blåt et, og et gult et
og et rødt et og et stribet et
De er malet helt forskelligt.
Det ser vældig festligt ud.
Men de folk der er i husene
går i vandet ligesom du og jeg,
Alle dem der er i husene
De er mensker hver og en.
Der' en tyk én og en tynd én
og en lav én og en rigtig lang.
Allesammen er de mensker,
de er allesammen ens.
Hvad skal folk med badehuse,
når et håndklæde er ligeså godt?
Vi er alle sammen men'sker
vi er alle sammen ens.
Der' en lang én og en kort én
Og en tynd én og en lille prop.
Badehuse tæt ved stranden
de kan kun forundre mig.

Then Dolores took over the hosting duties; but when Dolores left the internet, Diane returned and took over hosting duty again with her and Jenny taking turns suggesting a topic.
Now Mimi @ Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over, as Diane seems disinclined to take up Poetry Monday again.
The prompts are now taken from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a (drawing) prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog. And they mostly lend themselves perfectly for poeming as well.
I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Today the prompt is Beach huts which fast turned into Little beach huts, and then this happened. We do have beach huts in Denmark as well, and like almost everything here they are strictly regulated. No enlargements, no additions, no electricity, and no running water. I never really got the point in having a beach hut. After reading more about it, I still do not get it.
Beach huts
Little beach huts by the seaside,
little beach huts made of wood and timber
little beach huts by the seaside,
little beach huts colourful.
There's a blue one, and a green one
and a striped one and a yellow one,
Painted houses made of timber
and they seldom look the same.
But the people in the beach huts
they go bathing just like you and me
All the people in the beach huts
little people, all the same.
There's a tall one, and a short one,
and a thin one and a flabby one.
Little people in the beach huts,
little people, all the same.
Why do people have a beach hut
not a towel just like you and me.
Are the worried we'll see them
we are people - all the same.
There's a short one, and a tall one
And a fat one and a skinny one.
Little beach huts by the seaside
Little people, all the same!

Poetry Monday :: My Culture ~ Not my Poem
Poetry Monday is a
blogging challenge started by Diane @ On the Border in February 2017; later it was picked up by Delores @ Mumblings and Jenny @
Procrastinating Donkey.
Then Dolores took over the hosting duties; but when Dolores left the internet, Diane returned and took over hosting duty again with her and Jenny taking turns suggesting a topic.
Now Mimi @ Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over, as Diane seems disinclined to take up Poetry Monday again.

I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Today the prompt is My Culture which by I do not know which strange byways made me think of My Conviction from Hair. This is at least a big part of my cultural background. Even if the lyrics were hard to understand, the messages in this musical crept under our skin.
As we're allowed to post other people'e poetry as well here we go - I do excuse for the earworm
I would just like to say that it is my conviction
That longer hair and other flamboyant affectations
Of appearance are nothing more
Than the male's emergence from his drab camoflage
Into the gaudy plumage
Which is the birthright of his sex
There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage
And fine feathers are not proper for the man
When ac---tually
That is the way things are
In most species
I still can add and imbed YouTube videos, I hope this plays.

Poetry Monday :: Not a Poem - But Something Else
Monday is Poetry Monday. And today's prompt is Xerophyte.
But today there's no poetry forthcoming from MotherOwl. Some days ago The Pirate showed me a webtoon where the author works his way through the alphabet, drawing and writing funny verses with a sword, an animal (or two) and actions all starting with the same letter.
As of now he's made it to K.
And K is for ... try and guess which weapon, which animal and what it's doing with the sword. Link in the end of this post.
For some days now The Pirate and I - me mostly to tell the truth - have been guessing what the next letter would bring. Only rarely hitting bulls-eye, but often being close.
The only thing coming to my min with Xerophyte is that I cannot find enough meaningful verbs to write a webtoon comic text after his model. I actually found a sword, the Xyele, the short, one-edged, slightly curved sword of the Spartans.
I wonder what this artist will do when he gets there.
My try in here. Can you do better? I have no doubts that the artist behind Swords will do better.
X is for Xyele.
Xeroxed by a xerophyte,
for a xenophobic xeme
dabbling in xylomancy.
Swords: K is for ...

As is my wont when busy I wrote a haiku.

But this is fine, our tiny lake

But when the lake again is full
I hope the clouds will run away!

we need more sunshine, bright and gay.

Colour26 ... Poetry and Words
Where Have I Been?
Words for Wednesday ~ August 12, Words supplied by Mimi @ Messymimi's Meanderings. The Words can be found there and at River's blog: Drifting through Life.
Plastic
Remain
Tooth
Wisecrack
Distant
Enjoy
and/or the following phrases
Heads up (an advance warning)
Not all it's cracked up to be (failing to be as good as other people claim)
Playing possum (pretending to be dead, or being deceitful)
Using all words and expressions in the order they were given, dramatic and over the top, based in truth:
Plastic seems to be all that remain of my poor tooth. My dentist said the following wisecrack: Your teeth are all soon to be distant works of art, enjoy them while they're still there.
In other words, she gave me a heads-up to start saving for some major work. I do not think dentures are all they're cracked up to be, so I'll go on trying to retain my few remaining teeth and play possum when the subject arises, until it can no longer be dodged.
Poetry Monday ~ August 10, prompt: Bluebell
This prompt was given for Monday 10th, the birthday of one of my sons. And in my head rolls a tune, I always thought to be Bluebells of Scotland, but is not. One of my other sons participated in a theatre at school, where this tune; the 'not-Bluebells of Scotland' was used. It went on about sheep, about sheep-shearing, and of sheep-shearers up in the highlands. I think it was made for the occasion, as I cannot find it anywhere.
It wholly and totally prevents me thinking any sensible thought on Bluebells.
And the Colour of August:
One photo from last week
That's not Denmark 😉. We were away on a mini-holiday, visiting Ribe, Hamburg, and Lübeck. This is from Hamburg, a picture of what I called the "Terrible Tower" The church was bombed during WWII, the tower still stands, fortified, and a lift takes you to the top of the then tallest, now still fifth-tallest church tower in the world. During the trip up and down you can look directly down and out through all the holes and missing windows! Did I ever tell you that I'm not fond of heights?
And Wordle for Tuesday, August 11 ... the day I returned
Wordle 1.879 5/6
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩
⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜
⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
once again earning me the "Sea of Green"

Today the prompt is Tractor. This is an easy prompt for me. The steers outside are filled with tractors, red Tractors, green tractors, blue tractors, all lugging a trailer, sometimes in the same colour as the tractor, but often not. The other day two busy tractors crossed one another outside de our house, going slowly in the narrow road. One loaded, one empty, one red tractor with a green trailer, one green tractor with a red trailer. I do not know why we found this so fun, but it was ... just one of these things.
The blue tractors are mostly the excat blue I found for the Colour of the Month.
Just outside my door
I see tractors galore
It is harvest time
Blue tractors that fill
trailers to the gills
It is harvest time
They swing and they sway
throughout the day
It's harvest time
The grain that it spills
end up in the bills
of sparrows and tits.
We hear the combine
fromseven to nine
around the clock.
Outside my door
there's tractors galore.
It's harvest time.

Poetry Monday :: Relief
Every Monday is Poetry Monday.
Poetry Monday is a blogging challenge started by Diane @ On the Border in February 2017, and later it was picked up by Delores @ Mumblings and Jenny @ Procrastinating Donkey.
Then Dolores took over the hosting duties; but when Dolores left the internet, Diane returned and took over hosting duty again with her and Jenny taking turns suggesting a topic.
Now Mimi @ Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over, as Diane has returned home from her travels some time ago, but seems disinclined to take up Poetry Monday again.
I find this sad, because she reached many more poetry-writing bloggers than Mimi and I do.
The prompts are now taken from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a (drawing) prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog. And they mostly lend themselves perfectly for poeming as well.

Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Today's prompt is Relief
Sometimes, when I have no idea what to do with the words, I simply find all words that rhyme with it, and mostly a nonsense verse takes form. This happened today as well.
I asked for rhymes on Relief - which I suspect can be pronounced in two different ways with different meanings. And I was given: Belief - Broadleaf - Debrief - Flyleaf - Khalif - Longleaf - Massif - Motif - Serif - and Beef!
Longleaf and Broadleaf sounds like pipeweeds from the Hobbit, I looked them up, and the truth is more plain.
It turned into this:
Last week we had beef
now it's a relief
to write of a leaf
Although my belief
is that the Khalif
would rather have beef
than slender longleaf.
I see a motif
in every broadleaf
oh, what a relief!

Then Dolores took over the hosting duties; but when Dolores left the internet, Diane returned and took over hosting duty again with her and Jenny taking turns suggesting a topic.
Now Mimi @ Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over, as Diane has returned home from her travels some time ago, but seems disinclined to take up Poetry Monday again.
I find this sad, because she reached many more poetry-writing bloggers than Mimi and I do.
The prompts are now taken from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a (drawing) prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog. And they mostly lend themselves perfectly for poeming as well.
I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Today's prompt is Relief
Sometimes, when I have no idea what to do with the words, I simply find all words that rhyme with it, and mostly a nonsense verse takes form. This happened today as well.
I asked for rhymes on Relief - which I suspect can be pronounced in two different ways with different meanings. And I was given: Belief - Broadleaf - Debrief - Flyleaf - Khalif - Longleaf - Massif - Motif - Serif - and Beef!
Longleaf and Broadleaf sounds like pipeweeds from the Hobbit, I looked them up, and the truth is more plain.
It turned into this:
Last week we had beef
now it's a relief
to write of a leaf
Although my belief
is that the Khalif
would rather have beef
than slender longleaf.
I see a motif
in every broadleaf
oh, what a relief!

Today's prompt is Beef
By now I think that you all know that I love limited poems, like Haiku, and Elfje. During the 2025 A-Z Challenge, I found the Epulaeryu at ladyleemanila's blog.
As always when pressed for time and energy, I recourse to these short forms. I still need some practise in Epulaeryu - strange name with a strange explanation:
The Epulaeryu poem is about delicious food (The name is, I think, a mixture of Greek and Japanese).
It consists of seven lines and thirty-three syllables.
The form is 7/5/7/5/5/3/1 syllables, and the seventh line ends with an exclamation mark.
A tempting smell is wafting
to us from the pan.
We sprinkle salt and pepper
we turn it as we can.
Serve it with taters
and veggies.
Beef!

Poetry Monday :: Dandelion Seeds
Poetry Monday is a blogging challenge started by Diane @ On the Border in February 2017, and later it was picked up by Delores @ Mumblings and Jenny @ Procrastinating Donkey.
Then Dolores took over the hosting duties; but when Dolores left the internet, Diane returned and took over hosting duty again with her and Jenny taking turns suggesting a topic.

Today's prompt is Dandelion Seeds, This was not an easy topic for me. I really like Dandelions, and thir seeds aer so pretty, but making a poem about them... I could get no traction whatsoever, so after racking my brain for some time, I did something else - the idea of this challenge is after all to make us write poetry, not to pull out our hair :)
A week or two ago I bought this book second hand.
It contains selected poems by one of my favourite poets: Halfdan Rasmussen, whose praises I've sung before.
The title-poem - Mariehønen Evigglad (Mariehøne means Ladybird; Evigglad means always happy) - inspired me. And I made it into a poem in English. It has nothing in common with Dandelion seeds, except for maybe being flighty and fun.
1.
The ladybird called Everglad
went walking down the garden path
And there she saw that Felix snail
was sleeping by a water pail.
2.
Then rain came down and thunder rolled
and Everglad got wet and cold
she sought her aid in Felix snail
knocked on his shell beside the pail.
3.
And Felix called out: - Do come in!
come out of thunder, rain, and wind.
It is not roomy as you see
but dry and cozy as can be!
4.
They both sat down and laughed a lot
in Felix' snail shell, nice and hot.
And there beside the water pail
Miss Everglad turned Madam Snail.
And lots of happy kids they had
that looked a lot like mom and dad,
and they flew off into the blue
with shells and spots - my tale is true.
Then Dolores took over the hosting duties; but when Dolores left the internet, Diane returned and took over hosting duty again with her and Jenny taking turns suggesting a topic.
Now Mimi @ Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over, as Diane has returned home from her travels some time ago, but seems disinclined to take up Poetry Monday again.

Extra -- it seems that almost every kindergarten in Denmark has made their own 5th verse.
I took the ones I liked best and made my own 5th verse in English.

Poetry Monday :: Moody ~ ~ CORRECTION!
Error message:
Dear all. I see now that I have given the prompts for the wrong dates - Sundays, not Mondays - for the rest of 2026. Blame it on my new PC, that does not show Sunday as the first day of the week.
I have now corrected them all.

It is NOT my poem!
Dust If You Must
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed,
Ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb,
Music to hear, and books to read,
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair,
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go - and go you must -
You, yourself, will make more dust.

Poetry Monday :: Northern Lights
~ I suppose Southern Lights would be OK as well.
Poetry Monday is a blogging game invented long ago.
Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I are keeping it alive until Diane @ On the Border returns home from her break of healing and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.
We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.
The prompts now come from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.
Today's prompt is Northern Lights. It's also called Aurora borealis or australis, or simply Aurora. As normally when my brains are mushy, I go with a shortie. We live far enough North for Northern Lights to be sometimes visible here, but I have never seen it, when there's a warning I do often not see the warning, and when I do, it's cloudy or even rainy. An Elfje will have to tell the tale.
Aurora
I try
to catch it
They are always elusive
Lights!

Today's prompt is Cobweb with dewdrops, which sounds funny, almost like a kind of tongue-twister -- I could not resist the temptation to put these sounds in a rhyme. Can you guess the tune?
Dewdrops in cobweb
or dewcobs in dropweb?
Webdrops on cobdew,
or cobs wet with dropdew?
Spiders that spin with the thread from above
spinning their net in a labour of love.
