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.
