is for Euclid |
Euclid
and the science of SMS
Euclid’s
Elements was a most popular text
in
the first millennium, and also in the next.
For
two thousand years in a row
studied
by students, and no,
not
a single thing to do with phones or sext.
Since
my D-post was humongous yesterday, I Elected to keep this limerick as short as
possible.
And
E is for Easy peasy : upto E the A-Z is Easy. You don’t Even feel you’re on the
challenge. From F things take a subtle, Elusive turn.
The
reading gets to you, you want to go on and on, but your Eyes are falling flat on their faces in
the middle of the road, weaving drunkenly in and out of sleep, your Energy is Ebbing, leaking out between
your fingers on the keyboard.
Yesterday as I was reading however, I
also came across a post, based Essentially on Entertaining
strangers and so hosting angels unaware. And it was so well-written, a thing of Exceptional beauty
- it moved me greatly. You never know what you will find on an A-Z day, where you will strike gold, and how
it can lift your mood on to a different plane altogether, restoring your Enthusiasm.
Enthusiastic, Enquiring, Engaged and Ever-ready
to read! That’s the Elixir that can keep Everyone
going over the bumps and humps of J and Q and onto the last, most dreaded high
altitude horrors of X to Z.
(And there goes my non-resolution not to
Endlessly Edit my posts once done!! Can’t stop tinkering. Once a pantser
always a pantser... sigh…)
Posted for the A-Z Challenge 2016
How I love the Elegant sufficiency of this post. Clever, and an Education in itself.
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing with everything really - you never know where you will strike gold...thanks for playing along in the comments, EC! :)
DeleteYou are right, you never know what you will find as you tour A-Z. Finding Eliza
ReplyDeleteAnd you don't know also who will come by to yours, and which bit of your thought will resonate with them, and tada! a new friendship is forged...
DeleteEven us plotters endlessly edit...
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to know that! I thought I was some kind of abnormal or something....
DeleteYou achieved your goal and beautifully so, even in poetry less words work too!
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z ing. And yes, tomorrow or is it today it's also the IWSG post. Oh my!
Less is always more..
DeleteHappy A-Zing and ISWGing to you! :)
Gracious! Love all your uses of E words!! So creative.
ReplyDeleteJoy @ The Joyous Living
E is one of the widely used letters...so E posts are simple...thanks for stopping by
DeleteAnother entertaining post.
ReplyDeleteYes, we're still sailing along at the moment.
It's still early in the challenge...give it another week and then see...
Writer In Transit
I know...next week the winds will change and puff right out of our collective sail if we aren't mindful
Deleteahh Limerick...nicely done.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes you are right,from now starts the big trouble juggling with the alphabets ;)
check my poetic form today at https://uniqusatya.wordpress.com/
That's a great form to showcase as your E post! And all the best for juggling with the alphabets.
DeleteI agree, after the first week it gets harder to keep up with visiting new blogs and returning visits to those who have commented on your own blog.
ReplyDeleteI am determined to keep going with visits this year!

#AtoZChallenge- E is for Eating for two
You'll do fine, your theme has loads of breadth and flexibility :) I myself get too jittery if I haven't got the writing out of the way first ...good luck with the writing !
DeleteWhat a fabulous use of E words. Love it!!! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFabulous - now that's a fantastic idea for tomorrow's letter :) thanks
DeleteMy favorite AtoZ panster, keep at it! You are right, my eyes are popping out...going getting tougher! Why oh why didn't I preschedule! And Euclid would be writhing under his tombstone I assure you!

It makes for less stress if one gets the writing done, scheduled or not is a preference. I have never scheduled any of my A-Z posts before now, always on the day or just the day before. This time I scheduled to max reading/commenting time, but four days it seems is my max limit for hands off stance..
DeleteBest of luck!
What wonderful E words, I'm feeling very encouraged and ready for a new day.

And happy to say I found several mood-lifting posts this morning as well :)
DeleteThanks for coming by
Beautiful rhythm to your verses. And Kala's comment, are you pantser doing these posts? Wow! Thanks for you comment on my blog. I'm now following you.
ReplyDeleteOh, no, no no. The limericks are all written in advance! no pantsing there. The rambling addendum is the result of pantsing gone horribly wrong :) NOT good. I promised myself I wouldn't spend a second more than necessary on my own blog this A-Z..
DeleteThanks for coming by and for the warm words! And welcome to my blogspot!
Fun post. Even that man from Nantucket would like these.
ReplyDeleteI'd be seriously glad of his approval..bolster my self-esteem no end, he would!
DeleteI loved the limerick. I think there's something extra special about pansters. Not everyone can just jump in head first and come out swimming.
ReplyDeleteCrystal Collier
Yes, agree. I'm not an A-Z pantser though, I just get the pantsing itch at the most inconvenient of times..
DeleteLooks like you used Every E word there is.
ReplyDeleteE is the most prolific letter in the English language, but not the most prolific in terms of the starting letter...its not even among the top 5, surprising or what? :)
DeleteThat's the most e-words I've seen in one post today! Extraordinary!
ReplyDeleteI should have used Eleven, but Exceeded that :)
DeleteElegant, Entertaining, and Effective!
