Poetry Monday :: Scram

While copy/pasting from Messymimi's prompts for June, I only caught half the word - the prompt for today should have been
scramble
Sorry!

Mandagsdigtet er en blogleg, som Mimi fra Messymimi's Meanderings og jeg har overtaget - midlertidigt håber vi - fra Diane, der slapper af og rejser verden rundt med sin mand. Vi håber hun er parat til at tage over igen, når hun kommer hjem.

Dagens tema er: Scram - stikke af

Men igen i dag lykkedes det mig ikke at finde på noget på dansk. Måske senere.

- A - - B - - C -

Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health 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.

  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.

Scram
I thought about a boy called Scram, and his friend Trick, a smaller girl. They are a mischievous pair, and are up to no good in this nonsense verse.

Oh, Trick and Scram
they run and ran
just to catch the train.

The train was big
but Jane and Dick
had filled it up with rain

Riding to town
the rain fell down
and Scram and Trick and Dick

Filled up the seats
with flower seeds
For Jane and them to pick.

Sunday Selections ~ Søndagsblleder & Colour25

We've been busy. There's loads of photos, and the trouble has been choosing, a wonderful quandary. The colour of the month is for the last time Surviving Iris Yellow.

-- 💛 --

Vi har haft travlt, og jeg har taget mange billeder. Problemet med at udvælge er jo et luksusproblem.
Månedens farve  er stadig Overlevende irisgul
.

Hvor blev flyet af?  --  Where did the plane go?

Smukke blomster med gult - Pretty flowers with yellow

Hvis du nu synes, udvalget er lidt tamt, så har du ret. Jeg fik lige pludselig travlt igen. men ville have udgivet dette her opslag inden sengetid ... flere billeder senere på ugen, håber jeg.

If you think this selections are a bit meagre, you're right. It is slim pickings, I was suddenly busy again, but wanted to post before bedtime. I hope more is to follow in the coming week.

-- 💛 --

And as today is the 29th it's time for next month's Colour25.
Katerina writes of Η γραφή ως θεραπεία ... I get this to mean the healing power of writing or maybe therapeutical writing or even Writing in /as therapy ... Please correct, my Greek is not up to snuff any more ;) But the text in this picture is plain The Power of Writing, which suits me better.

I do not know how Katerina makes this pictures, maybe she uses an e-drawing tool, or maybe she pieces together free stuff, or ... No matter what, this picture spoke to me because for me the pleasures of writing has always had this exact purple colour ... I know, like Susan, I suffer a bit from synaesthesia, associating almost everything with a colour ... only not numbers, I do not like numbers.

The long and the short of it, the colour of the month for July is Writing Pleasure Purple.

-- 💜 --

 I dag er det den 29. juni. Det må være tid til næste måneds farve.
Hos Katerina fandt jeg et opslag om Η γραφή ως θεραπεία ... som jeg får til at betyde  Skrivningens helende virkning, terapeutisk skrivning eller måske skrivning som terapi ... His nogen er bedre til nygræsk, ret mig venligst, jeg lærte bibelgræsk for snart en menneskealder siden, så de finere nuancer er længst forsvundet ;) Men teksten i det her billede er The Power of Writing - styrken eller glæden ved at skrive, og det passer mig meget bedre.
   Jeg ved ikke, hvor Katerina får sine billeder fra, om hun bruge en tegneplade, eller om hun sætter gratis elementer sammen eller hvad, men det her billede taler til mig, fordi for mig har glæden ved at skrive, altid haft lige den her lilla farve - måske med sorte striber ... ja lige som Susan, lider jeg lidt af synæstesi, og rigtigt mange ting har en farve knyttet til sig - bare ikke tal, jeg kan ikke lide tal.
     For at gøre en lang historie kort: Juni måneds farve er Skriveglædelilla.

Words for Wednesday June 25

Word for Wednesday is a challenge that was started a long time ago. Now it has turned into a movable event with Elephant's Child as our coordinator; and the Words provided by a number of people.

The general idea of this challenge is to make us write. Poems, stories, subtitles, tales, jokes, haiku, crosswords, puns, ... you're the boss.
Use all Words, some Words, one Word, or even none of them if that makes your creative juices flow. Anything goes, only please nothing rude or vulgar.

In June, Hilary Melton-Butcher will supply us with prompts, but they'll appear at  Elephant's Child.

 It is also a challenge, where the old saying "The more the merrier" holds true.

So Please, remember to follow the links, go back and read other peoples' stories. And please leave a comment after reading. Challenges like this one thrives on interaction, feedback and encouragement. And we ALL need encouragement.

- - A - - B - - C - - 

This Wednesday's prompts:
Purposeful      
Solar    
Hog     
Trail     
Discouraging
    And/or
 Chute      
 Punt      
Oval      
Records         
Patient

Hilary generously gave us these extras:
Hinders     
 Origin     
 Camping     
Wrinkle    
Sprout

I did not use very many words ... I used one, the very first. Then - because I normally use the words in the order they're given - solar had me baffled. The story meandered on without any more of the words. It's not long, but once again Susan shows off her animal skills. I think she'll be very welcome in the blue house at Trausti, Mona and Jonas' place.

Trausti got up and dressed and called for Susan. Together they left the blue house and followed the dirt road leading to Unicorn Farm into the setting sun. After they turned off the big road, Trausti whistled sharply, a purposeful two toned sound. Susan startled, then she heard the dog barking.
"We forgot the dog!" Trausti said, "but he was well trained by its old master." He pulled a treat from his pockets, and asked Susan. "Do you want to reward him when he arrives here."
"Very much," Susan said, and took the proffered treat. "What's his name?"
"We call him Bernhard, but that's probably not his right name, it might be the name of that man's previous dog, or even his own name for all we know. It was on the tag with no more information."
The dog came running, stopped up and sat on his haunches. Susan ruffled his ears, and spoke softly: Good boy, you found us. Here's a little something for you," she extended a flat hand with the treat and the dog looked expectantly up at her. "Yes, it's yours," Susan said without thinking. "It's yours, Snowy!" The dog gave a happy sound between a woof and a whimper and neatly snapped he treat from Susan's hand. "Is that your name ... Snowy. It fits you." The dog's tail wagged like crazy and Trausti laughed. "You are a true name spotter, Susan. I sure think this one is Snowy." The dog woofed softly at Trausti and put his muzzle in Trausti's hand. "He likes men best," Susan again spoke without thinking, "but of course his former master was a man too."
"Let's get going," Trausti said. "You need your dinner and some clean clothes without tears in them before that."
They hurried along in the low sun, Snowy always a few paces behind Trausti, looking like a perfectly happy dog.

Snowy is a deliberate allusion to Tintin and his dog, as many dogs, not only fox terriers, but almost any white or whitish dog was named after him for some years.

Uniform
Today I went with a free-form verse, as I do not like uniformity nor uniforms 😜

I like to goof around, test things out.
I know I stick out from the crowd
and has learned to live with it.
Uniform!
A word of double meanings,
Clothing for scouts, soldiers and schoolboys,
Or constant, unvarying, consistent.
My solving of the day's Wordle
Is uniform, day after day,
Almost always four guesses
Just like today.
Uniform!

And suddenly an Elfje surfaced. You'll get that one as well.

Alike.
Always unwarying
A boring idea
For a curious mind.
Uniform!

Jeg kunne ikke finde så mang billeder med den  farve i, ,men denne her mælkebøtter er da charmerende,

I did not find many items with this specific colour, but this hardy dandelion charmed me.

Billedet er taget tilbage i april, men det passer i dag.

I snapped this photo back in April, but it's in its place today, I think.
