Using a word list from flipside records, here is a poetic offering from a work-weary rabbit.
christen my day wistful
wind Byzantium mischief until
absurd juniper tidings
cripple hope’s stubborn teal taint
solicit an evasive well-traveled answer
erratic constellations. . . obscured mirrors. . . scornful sepulcher
these self-governing taints, mediocre poisons

I desire barmy glimmer sprinkles
that leave sweet lesions
on my soul
I vote for the erratic constellations and obscured mirrors!
Kathy,
I like those too. Life feels like its guided by inconsistent stars sometimes, and I’m all for mirrors that don’t reflect clearly. Thanks for stopping in and sharing your favorites.
“barmy glimmer sprinkles” They sound luscious and I just like saying this!
Leslie,
Makes it fun, doesn’t it. I’m not a fan of the word “barmy” (too pirate-y), but it does wonders for glimmer sprinkles. 
Thanks for coming by and sharing.
I desire barmy glimmer sprinkles
that leave sweet lesions
on my soul…hmmm…nothing better than a sparkling night sky….
Claudia,
I completely agree. With days so hot, even the sun has lost its appeal. Night twinkling, even dimmed by an enormous glowing moon, feeds the poets soul, doesn’t it? Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
I’ve missed your work and glad to see you writing again – for me, I like hope’s stubborn teal taint. Hope does have a teal taint (to me) and hopefully (ha!) it IS stubborn ! “Glimmer sprinkles” also a beautiful phrase (among many). k.
k,
The word list was a delight with which to work. It almost spun its own phrases. Thank you for stopping in, reading and commenting. I’ve enjoyed my reading at your place as well.
It is so good to be back.
I love these:
“wind Byzantium mischief”
“erratic constellations”
And yes, that ending is great:
“I desire barmy glimmer sprinkles
that leave sweet lesions
on my soul”
Thank you so much. I know how busy you are.
flipside,
It was another excellent though challenging word list. Glad you found some treasures in there. I always enjoy writing for you when I get the chance. Off to San Antonio and Austin to visit family and friends. Going to see Our Town with a friend. He reviewed it here.
Oh, Our Town. So good.
Tell San Antonio I said hello and I miss it terribly. Have fun, dear.
Been there? From there? So you have some Texan seasoning?
Will do and definitely will do.
Born and raised … miss it terribly. Going to the Riverwalk?
Not this trip. Unfortunately just staying one night. I’ll walk around a bit, but only near where we’re staying…not exactly sure where that is.
I’m looking forward to another trip when I can focus on San Antonio, lovely Spanish lady that she is. I’ll be sure and take pictures and write a post when I do…just for you.
Thank you.
I was there last month. But when we go, I usually spend most of my time with my mother. We didn’t even make it to the Riverwalk this time.
Next time you come down, let me know. I might try to meet up with you, only being two hours away.
Bet we could get into mischief…the good kind of course.
I would love to see you there. It will be ages until I come back, though. I live in Alabama, and it’s such a long drive … particularly with three children in tow. Are you staying indefinitely or just through the summer?
flipside,
The plan is for a year. So I have still have hopes to see you. No pressure.
I would love to see you. And I guess you should e-mail me your new address, since I’m not as good of a pen pal as I once was.
flipside,
Happy to.
Really enjoyed your use of the word list, especially the fantastic ending !!
cloudfactor5,
Always striving for that fantastic ending, right? Thanks for stopping in and reading. So happy to share it with you.
Thank You, oh and by the way, here was mine! http://cloudfactor5.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/my-crippled-heart/
cloudfactor5,
Thanks. I’ll be over soon to read.
