R, M, I, P

left: 3
needed:3
taken:3


U, H, T

298 to 293
winning:you
losing:me

M-I-R-T-H
is fading as I stare at my tiles
"Seven Silly Slates!"

I have the need
to T-R-U-M-P
to succeed

T-I and M-I
are musical
and
M-U and P-I
are bright
but none of these would earn the points
I need to win tonight

There's H-I-P and R-U-M-P
which make me think
some thoughts that are impure

And T-R-I-M and H-U-M-P
which make me think
the naughtiest of things, for sure

My opponent is restless
for me to make a play
so I shuffle one last time...

T-R-I-U-M-P-H
is mine!

By the time I recognize this moment it will be gone,  
I will bend light pretending it lingers on

Thank you for the welcomes!

Enchantress & Marge...I wander here from my other addiction:  S-C-R-A-B-B-L-E.  Glad to know there are others with this affliction.  Should you need an opponent, yell!

(smiles) Yay! Oh dearest friend, I just had to go back and see where your magic all began in this most inventive and novel debut, yay! I love Scrabble and sometimes I come up with good words, like Quandary and one time Syzygy, yay, I challenge you to a dual, yay! God Bless You! Welcome to Passions, sweet McLean, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your wonderful words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet McLean, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thank you, all, for the warm reception, and thank you, Noah, for looking me up!  I have been spending less time "scrabbling" these days, and more time creating in a different way.  I do so enjoy these blue pages and the inspirations that are so generously offered.  I think I'll stay a bit.
