The Arranged Marriage

Homophones.  Turned out like all the rest, but I can't say I was very enthused about it.

The Arranged Marriage

A mending gesture

Amending jest, your

Cementing grasp

Seems sending, rasped,

"To agreements made!"

To agree meant maid's

Loss of surname

Laws of sir's named

For nobility

For no ability

Of common sense

Of calm and censed

Bridal comforts

Bride, I'll come. Forts

Arranged a feast

A range of East-

-ern delights and sari

Earned daylight and, sorry

No more hands to shake

Time to cut the cake

The Residual

Word collage.  Tried to capture something like a battlefield after the fact.  If it's a little unfocused, then I blame it on  the cat for waking me up so many times last night.  Enjoy.

Attic at Sunrise

Word collage emulating the bits of dust that hang in the air and catch the light.  Even  using a fixed-width font (in this case, Arial), blogspot will sometimes refuse to perfectly line things up the way I typed them.

The Canary Lookout

homophones, because I like 'em.  

The Canary Lookout

Can aeries of

Canaries of

Good pedigree from

Good pets agree from

Alarming warbles,

"All arm in! War bulls!"

Helter-skelter

Held our shelter

Deep within the earth

They were safer

They were, save for

A trickling few

A tickling fume

Wafted from the clay

The lookout saved the day

For a praise in a

Coat of arms

For appraising a

Code of harms

Emblazoned on a shield:

Canaries in a mine
