Have you met her?
She’s a mess
-age of murmurmoan,
an ink(trovert) blot caught
on a cure-ious spinstring,
a gypsygonegirl
(nevermore)
moon(mer)maid
of de
-versity.
She’s paid only
in breeze-sigh
whisperwhy
and skysong
spare change.
But give her a flowerface,
some petalled grace
an emerald blade snailstorm
;
she’ll
….(love you)
……….(love you knot)
bard-braid you a tiny,
mini-school
………………poe-hum.

A kenning, for Bjorn’s prompt over at Toads. We also did kennings on NaPoWriMo day 20. Mine was here.
Amazing.. So many great kenning here… I do adore the murmurmoan.. And I would be there with my flowerface… Didn’t know it had been a NaPoWriMo prompt…
Yes!!! I love this!!! 🙂 Such a great song, too. There’s also the implication that this is about Barbie and Ken.
“murmurmoan,
an ink(trovert) blot caught
on a cure-ious spinstring,
a gypsygonegirl” … Love.
“But give her a flowerface,
some petalled grace
an emerald blade snailstorm” … Also this.
And I don’t know what a “mini-school” is, but man is that adorable.
I’m particularly in love with this bit:
an ink(trovert) blot caught
on a cure-ious spinstring,
It seems the protagonist should hold out for more than a flowerface since she inspires such delightful thoughts.
Love how you play with words
an ink(trovert) blot caught
on a cure-ious spinstring,
a gypsygonegirl…
Gorgeousness ❤ ❤
I can’t even to begin to say how much you rocked this de…astounding. Your imagination knows no bounds!
You leave me speechless with admiration Gorgeousness throughout!
Stunning play on words! Enjoyed it very much. Hugs!
So many sprightly images in the twist of kennings. There is a joy in these moments.
Aced! I particularly love the wordplay on ‘kenning’ which can also mean knowing – presumably intentional, since you are the master of wordplay.
Oh I love your title…What an amazing job you did with the prompt!
It is such a thrill for me to see all the wonderful ways you have combined words together. Such a unique approach.
