Game on...on the radio...Dodgers 1-Rockies 0...bottom of first...log lines emerge from reports that report the day to day play by play moments...it's a fine word, "emerge"...swimming into view...looming anticipation, gone back to nowhere...Rockies score....Dodgers 1-Rockies 1.

Answer to the test
With five by seven by five
Syllable line count
poems are answers
In the wisdom library
And uncorrected
I think it is mine
I'm sure I passed each question
Don't buy the Lotto
🎶To bottom of second
Mousing Around
Oh, on their table
Jury rigging, ballots stuffed-
C02 Apoxia.
Introduced control
For rampant species snail-
One worm too many.
Rally to rally
Whatever your tribal angst
Forehead to forehead
Don't matter a wit
Born just a nit that dont fit
Grab your mit, and play
Runamuk-i->
Stay
Be born, be greeted
With out a reputation..
"Oh no no no no...
Brass in my pocket
Here I am, don't look away,
"I'm winking at you.
Trailing Paradise
Oh, "waiting for this moment"..
How could we forget.
With something to say.
Oh, "you stole my heart" aside
Couldn't make a peep
"Little bit longer".
All along it was something..
"Tell me now you know?

🦋Dream: wide wing fighter jets with wide open cockpits approaching...thinking "loglines" as I wake up.
🎶to top of third...don't know why I thought of log lines...but they are a personal favorite thought!...one can find sites, IMDb, that list all the movies made year by year, back to the beginning of Hollywood!, with loglines, taglines...foreign movie making too...Ohtani hits home run...he owns Rockies...two HRs yesterday...30 on season...they call the movie blurbs something else...tagline, synopsis, treatment...treatment is longer, or shorter...tales of actors being asked to do movies with just a blurb, short treatment, and producers given blurbs by aspiring script writers!...sometimes doctors treatments a blurbs.
Oh, your synopsis
Met with your doctor's treatment-
A hollywood blurb
lol...Haiku's are log lines
✨️lol...Haiku's are log lines
No, haikus are not log lines. A haiku is a short form of poetry with 17 syllables usually split into three lines (5-7-5). A log line is a one- or two-sentence summary that pitches a movie or TV show

🎶a quibble
Godzilla minus-one
Nuclear submarine
C02 build up

🎶why I call mine, "5x7x5", lest I mess with Haikuers...a brief treatment:
Godzilla monster mutant emergent from radioactivity
nuclear submarines emerged from threat of perceived enemy with their nuclear subs
global warming emerges from CO2 build up.
Godzilla can swim under water, and a fire breathing dragon.
hmmph...why 5x7x5?...can't pin that down...why N1 hypnopompics?...Rockies 1-Dodgers 6...Hollywood has made movies from all those Godzilla emergents...how was that said?.
✨️Emergent physics is the study of how large-scale macroscopic properties, patterns, and laws arise from the collective interactions of many microscopic parts. At this higher level, new behaviors appear that do not exist in the individual fundamental components. A famous summary of this concept by physicist Philip Anderson is "more is different"
🎶In Stay, I lifted lines from songs, some in quotes...cheating probably...but it makes a subtext-knowing the songs-like that relation between clue and crossword puzzle answer...to top of fifth...Dodgers 6-Rockies 3...Betts up...Mousing Around, Treatment: feed dropped Artemis channel with Greek Reporter take of finding ritual mice sacrifices to Apollo in archaeological dig on Crete...oh, dropped a comment noting Robert Graves talks about Apollo and Mice.
✨️In his works like The White Goddess and The Greek Myths, Robert Graves argues that Apollo originated as a totemistic mouse-demon in pre-Aryan Europe. Over time, through assimilation and shifts in religious dominance, this mouse deity ascended to become the Olympian patron of music, poetry, and prophecy. [1
The Mouse-God Origin
Totemistic Roots: Graves proposes that Apollo began as the demon or spirit of a mouse-fraternity in early, pre-Aryan Europe. [1
Apollo Smintheus: Graves highlights the ancient title Smintheus ("Mouse-Apollo") as one of the god's earliest epithets, connected to shrines of the primordial Earth/Death Goddess. [1
Secrets of the Earth: Mice were culturally believed to understand subterranean secrets and whisper them to the god, which aligns with Apollo taking over the oracular shrine at Delphi from Mother Earth. [1, 2
Plague and Healing: Because mice were anciently associated with sudden outbreaks of disease and sickness, the mouse-god was dually viewed as a bringer of plague and an apotropaic healer. [, 2
Rise to Olympian Stature
🎶Graves' works are full of anecdotes, curios, blurbs...the play by play of an antquarian...he'd fit right in in social media...gossip much in his baliwick...baliwick!...the ships at sea site vlogger owned up that outer space not his baliwick today, but things of seas and ships were his baliwick...specifically, how to tow a disabled ship...this in the back and forth about how to recover the space x, star ship, booster, that landed tail down in the Pacific, but, what?, fell over with no platform, but stayed afloat..."surprising how buoyant" in its tow to Christmas Island...Ohtani up...and brought Apollo 13, the disabled Apollo craft-how the ground crew had to improvise to clear the CO2 build up, as the scrubbers in the crew capsule failed...but...the scrubbers in the lander okay, and could be used, but were wrong shape- square instead of round...the ground crew faced with finding a solition with what they had "on the table"...scene of them throwing replicated stuff from the capsule on a table-"make a square peg fit a round pegs hole" their challenge...I think duct tale had a role...I don't know if saying "what's on the table" emerged before or after that...now, a common term.
✨️The idiom "on the table" (meaning a proposal or topic is actively available for discussion or negotiation) originates from literal physical tables used in 17th-century parliamentary procedures where documents were laid out for lawmakers to review. It has no direct historical link to the 1970 Apollo 13 mission. [1, 2, 3, 4,
Idiom Origin
Literal Display: People placed documents, bills, or items flat on a physical table so everyone gathered around could see and examine them. [1
Parliamentary Tradition: In British and international English, "tabling" a motion means bringing it forward for immediate debate. [1
Regional Shift: In American English, "to table" strangely evolved to mean the opposite—delaying or postponing a discussion—though saying something remains "on the table" still means it is open for consideration. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The Apollo 13 Connection (Misconception
Famous Quote: Apollo 13 is famous for the phrase "Houston, we have a problem" (originally spoken as "Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here" by astronaut Jack Swigert). [1, 2
No Idiom Link: The space mission popularized high-stakes crisis management and improvisation, but it did not coin or alter the phrase "on the table." [1
Movie Scenes: Dramatizations like the 1995 movie Apollo 13 feature flight directors throwing out the flight plan to figure out options to get the crew home, which reflects the figurative meaning of putting options "on the table," but the idiom itself is centuries older than the space program. [1, 2, 3
🎶AI has that skewed up..."on the table":all that's availabe...they covered the table with the parts available, and had to verbalize the ones to use to the astronauts, as they had no photo link...no tv of their own, tho on tv!...go figure...so, so, I riffed on, "on the table", at the ship site...and searched what is on the table for gaza, ukraine, iran...left comment of such...a wait see if a reply emerges!...at many sites I have no cache...not a wit...I'm becoming skilled in comment blurbs...that's all comments are!...blurbs...occasionally treatments...the channels treat, beginning with clic bait, then drawn out on and ons, cliff hangings...bottom of seventh...world series emerges from season of 160 games!

That's a five syllable line...aquired skill to hear syllable counts, iambic pentameter.
✨️old bards could extemporize rhymed verse to an audience that expected nothing less
Yes, ancient and traditional bards possessed the rare skill to compose and recite rhymed poetry on the spot. They matched complex meter and rhyme schemes without any prior preparation. Their audiences expected high-level art during every single performanc
How Bards Performed
Oral Tradition: Bards relied on memorized formulas, stock phrases, and traditional tunes
Musical Accompaniment: They often plucked a harp or lyre to keep a steady rhythm while they thought of the next lines
Social Role: Societies treated them as historians, news carriers, and keepers of tribal memory
Famous Tradition
Celtic Bards: Irish and Welsh poets held high legal and social ranks in royal courts
Norse Skalds: Viking poets crafted complex verses about battles and kings on demand
Guslar Singers: Balkan bards sang long epic tales of heroes while playing a single-stringed instrument
🎶This is Robert Graves' lament...we've all been dumbed down..
✨️This is Robert Graves' lament...we've all been dumbed down as old bards could extemporize rhymed verse to an audience that expected nothing less
Robert Graves is right that old bards had a unique skill. They could make up rhymed poems on the spot. Their listeners expected high art in real time. Today, daily culture relies less on fast, complex wordplay and memory
Why Bards Could Do I
Oral tradition: Bards trained for years. They memorized vast story frameworks
Formulaic phrasing: They used set rhyme pairs and rhythm beats to buy time
Live feedback: The crowd's energy helped shape the next line instantly
What Changed Today
Written word: Printing shifted focus from spoken memory to silent reading
Mass media: Entertainment became a recorded product instead of a live craft
Attention shifts: Modern art values visual media and fast digital formats

Oh, and where were you
When "machines bagan doing"
All that for you.
