Life & Path
Bumpy is the path
to those seizing life fully
suffer no regrets.
Their paths collided
as soulmates spanning life times
promises to keep.
I love life
each twisty turny
path to bliss.

It’s a natural..
a unit, not composite
nor prime…it is One.

Happy Friday! Time for another look at dictionary.com’s word of the day. Today we have a French word, raconteuse, the feminine version of raconteur. It’s another one of those lovely older words,that entered the English language in the mid nineteenth century. Both words are rooted in the French word, raconter, which means “to tell”.
I imagine some nineteenth century raconteuse, if she were a time traveler, might have a blog here in the 21st. In times of old, only a handful of people might be delighted and entertained by her stories. Today she could have a global audience!
Here’s the Haiku…
Raconteuse Haiku
Centuries ago
A raconteuse used parchment
Now she’d have a blog.

Victims of the fray
Slumber ‘neath shrouds of linen
Soon comes the reaper.
(…and a 21st Century version of the haiku above. Thanks to Susan at buildingapoem for the nudge 😊 …making me work for those syllables! )
Victims of the fray
Sleep under shrouds of linen
Soon comes the reaper.
Beyond the veil
Heaven and hell fight for souls
Free Will always wins.

Happy Friday…April Fools Day! Today’s dictionary.com Word of the Day is a timely tidbit…Ninnyhammer! It’s origin: “Ninnyhammer entered English in the late 1500s. Its first element, ninny, meaning “a fool or simpleton,” may be a pet form of the proper name Innocent.”
I love this word! It’s fun to say! “He/she is such a ninnyhammer!” rolls off the tongue quite nicely! And I do think I’ll be adding this one to my PC arsenal of go-to words for those times when my voice is within earshot of my tender, very impressionable grandchildren! An alternative to “what an ASS!” my default expletive! “What a ninnyhammer!” will do nicely and is whimsical enough to diffuse my angst! Thank you dictionary.com for this delightful word! I can think of several as….er ninnyhammers in my life who have earned a new nickname!
Here’s the Haiku then. Hoping that you will not have to suffer too many ninnyhammers this 1st Day of April!!!
The first of April!
a day for ninnyhammer’s
hoping to blend in!
