Amaze…. “Sense of “overwhelm with wonder” is from 1590s” (Thesaurus.com)
As I walked out my back door one early morn’
I was amazed by what I saw
An exaltation of larks
A tittering of magpies
A band of blue jays
A cacophony of crows
A convocation of eagles
A charm of hummingbirds
A kettle of hawks
A gulp of swallows
A parsnip of pigeons
An ostentation of peacocks
A parliament of owls
A pandemonium of parrots
And a flamboyance of flamingoes
I thought to myself
What was in that wild bird seed I bought?
*If you’re wondering about a parsnip of pigeons, I made it up. 🙂
This post is for Stream of Consciousness Saturday hosted by Linda G Hill. The prompt today is use a two letter word at the beginning and a bonus for using a two letter word at the end. Featured image: Brehms Teirleben Cockatiels painting via Wikimedia. And the collective nouns are inspired by James Lipton’s book ” An Exaltation of Larks,” which referenced ‘terms of venery’ from the Middle Ages. And that is where many of these collective nouns originated, the middle ages. Some could be recent inventions but I am not aware of the sources to credit other than a list on wikipedia 🙂
I have found that those in their nonage
look upon me who is slightly more than middle age
as probably
nonagenarian or maybe even centenarian
These persons to whom I provide tutelage
have at times have had the temerity
to imply my antiquity
This causes me to query
Is ageism inborn or instilled by society?
This is my post for Stream of Consciousness Saturday hosted by Linda G Hill. The word for today is “no.”
I’m all cattywampus
or should I say catawampus?
I’ve been looking and looking for words
that will fit the category
of those containing the word spelled c-a-t
Here is the rule
Proclaimed by Linda our leader
And she is no fool:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “-cat-” Use the letters at the start, middle, or end of a word and make it the subject of your post – or just use the word “cat.” Enjoy!
To catalogue cat words I felt assured
Would be so easy it was almost absurd
But I came to find to my great chagrin
There are many cat sounding words
But in the cat category they do not fit in
How frustrating this can be
Many are spelled with a “k” instead of a “c”
Like Saskatchewan
and Saskatoon
Krakatoa
and Kathmandu
What is a cat word cataloger supposed to do?
This is a catastrophe! I caterwauled
I now understand and know it is true
It is catch as catch can
So I think I’ll sail off
in my catamaran 🙂
