Ochi Chyornye (Dark Eyes)

 Les Emotifs Anonymes (2010)

 

 his gentle comedy begins with the heroine, Angélique, singing a French version of Maria's "I Have Confidence In Me" from The Sound of Music while on the way to a meeting of "Les émotifs anonymes" (the film's original title), an Alcoholics Anonymous-style organisation for shy, inhibited people. She then gets a job with a gourmet chocolate company headed by a nervous boss, Jean-René, undergoing analysis for his emotional hang-ups. The company, ailing in the present economic climate, gets a high-sugar fillip from a new line introduced by ace-chocolatière Angélique, though her and Jean-René's edgy relationship remains a few bonbons short of bonheur. It is a pleasant little film, reminiscent in tone of the 1930s comedies of René Clair and Jean Renoi

 

  octave gnarl parasite boketto muscle nightmare
 peal leash nullify graveyard misrepresent negligence 

Wordle # 188 MLMM 



for a hermit
socialising is a nightmare
worse than spending a night in a graveyard
facial muscles gnarled and grimaced are misrepresented
as being  characteristic of an impolite person

his negligence in not paying the restaurant bill
is part of his bonkers boketto condition and nullifies
his valiant attempt at vocalising peals of 'dark eyes'
trying to seduce the lovely Angelique

missing the high octave  was unfortunate
his rendition sounding more like a
howling dog left at home alone on the leash
but it was a start

his parasitic psychiatrist who had been
fleecing him for years seemed pleased
at his progress

This week's words are from " The Hermits" by Karen Solie

wine appear hope frailty burns bonds
sugars flares flowers  burning read cave 





life in a cave with burning candles
books to read flowers wine
enough sugar pastries
a nice view
appears to be a good alternative
to main stream life

the frailty of human bonds
cause them to burn out eventually
save yourself the heartache
best be a hermit

childhood
an entitlement
to the purity of innocence

 every child
 should be protected
 enfolded
 in love and security

childhood
a time of joy
wonder
discovery of 
the natural world
imagination

childhood
a time
to make wonderful memories
a time of magic
play and rippling laughter

a time of sunshine
we owe this to all of our children

 

Wordle 187 - MLMM

cyan nod gradual tragedy mumble tradition
scantily vaunt faucet  asleep (koi no yokan) tradition





koi no yokan
knowing you are destined
for one another
traditionally  takes two
to be of the same mind

she lived in a fantasy world
painted cyan (blue green)
never acknowledging
the overpowering smell of parrafin
leaking through the faucets

most nights
he was on the nod
mumbling
falling asleep on the sofa
when he was not vaunting
 the scantily clad
game show hostess he used to date

she gradually 
faced the truth
accepted the tragedy
that she had wasted years
of her life
years she would never get back
