FACTORRHYMING
(From Feb 28 puzzle, using only the 12 letters, plus ‘n’– half our alphabet. It’s a bit inspired by James DIckey’s fabulous (like a fable) 1967 poem “Falling”.)
A DARING DIRGE
Give us (say) a daring dirge,
A gradual sung as a day gives sign
Surely engraved in a dusk disguised,
Surely as sad as a dreary eye.
As gilded rays unravel a sky
Under a veiled and silvery dusk
A risky slide in an air revised,
A skydiver lays in a gyring glide.
A legal sail, an aged guide,
A rival avian diver yields;
Gaily alive in rural air
A skylark gives a residual sign.
Under sky, gray-gilded seas
Vaguely lurk, and gravely lie.
Are skylarks sage? Is a gyre near?
Ask, divulge, say adieu, and die.
Thank you for providing the RHYMING FACTOR again, Jill; it’s been a while!
Wonderful, as always!
Thank you Jill!
So many tangents from your words! (James’ poem is very long).
No skylarks where I am (except for old Buicks) but I was encouraged to find out if they are sage and enjoyed the learning.
Because life…. is a FRAGRANT-TRICHOTOMY
Wow! Elegant Solution!
Excellent! Flowers, herbs, and single-malt whisky (Jackson says Talisker holds the record for most identiable scents, at 12).
Well, I completely missed both the components of the efficient official solution, today. Went through FRAMING, NOTCHY, INFORMANT, and GRAFT, after which I branched off into Greek with CHIROGNOMY, HOMONYMIC, -MANI(A)C, and then -MACHY compounds. ICONOMACHY was rejected (even though it is a word) and I ended up in FRAG – GIGANTOMACHY 16/2, which, at least, has a theme going for it.
I scored 8½ at LBF, today. Despite having worked in a casino for a brief period of time, I’ve never been well & truly into gambling, but I’m now considering a handbrake turn in my betting strategy; instead of picking a different set every day (essentially aiming for a moving target), I might be better off sticking to the same one for the duration -we’ll see…
I like FROG – GIGANTOMACHY more, makes me think of an amphibian version of Godzilla 😀
Official
FROG – GIGANTOMACHY. Not sure what bit of my brain I pulled Gigantomachy from, but the site accepted it.
FACTOR – RHYMING aka official today! Feels good 🙂
Same here.
Same.
Official and fairly quickly after a long hard try at INFORMANT and INFORMING, but only three sips into the coffee and I’m off to my day in a much better mood than yesterday’s failed LB attempts!
INFANTRYMAN-NOTCHING surprisingly one of my quickest solves.
Love this one!
After going through a seemingly endless list of nonfunctional words I ended up with a threeer again: HYMNIC-CONFRONTING-GRANT. Took me a long while to mess around with: macaroni infinity forging minority foaming city citing maniac confronting gamy magnify horny romantic intimacy tram inform norm gaming main mint moaning mantra margin notch monochromy hymn many any honoring rainy motoric contractor tonicity giro grainy magician gram grim grin grant from frog fortify firm confirming contra agony contrary.
Wow! Yes, 3 for me, as well:
GRAFTING-GYM-MACHO
There might be a theme in there somewhere 🙂
MAGNIFIC—CHRONICITY
LB does not admit MAGNIFIC (it is a playable Scrabble word, though).
Even going international (e.g., ORIGAMI), I wasn’t seeing it, so my solution was a threeby: MARIACHI-INFORMING-GANTRY. Filming documentary about a band.
Also (what I call) a threebie: HYMN-NOTCHING-GRAFT
My brain SO into making things connect. But—not this one! 🙂
Official. After thinking it was one ING word and other ending in Y.
After getting nowhere switched to get a y and ing combo. Viola!
Official, after considerable strife. I’m surprised but pleased to see there are other two-word solutions on offer. Well done!
Official here. And quickly. Such a a surprise having been shut out these last few days.
Almost shut out. Finally made it.
Trachytic-confirming.
(Trachyte is a lava rock.). Yes, the dictionary was involved.
