The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is definitely NOT required.
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.
FLN, Wilbur ~ So nice to read of the Lois/Chet nuptial planning—efficient, economical, but romantic throughout.
ReplyDeleteBoth optimistic and sensible—charming!
Oh, and here’s my W. I started with two vowels & three of the most frequent consonants.

“Her Shares to (the) Fore”
The sassy, taller
girl will take a final stab
to-marrow. / Bone-deep.

Thanks OMK, I'm glad you noticed that I'd posted late. The 'back story' was my taking a smidgen of a Ritalin like pill. That kept me going through four days of J's
ReplyDeleteMisty will get a kick out of hunting for 16 J's and 4 riddle-solutions. Easy jumble today with an uncomplicated pun.

ReplyDelete"Faring Well"
ReplyDeleteThe chance for improvement was narrow
when they treated Mary's bone marrow.
The surgery on her spinal
cord went well and was final.
The fare was a hefty dollar,
but it made Mary much taller,
and made her spirits soar,
and she's now sassier than before.
She now dates a handsome boy,
and they dance together in joy.
Wow, Wilbur, you certainly do take on a lot at once; just went back and read Chet's account of his and Lois' wedding and honeymoon plans. Great! I expect we may get Lois' account post-wedding, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy following their story.
Wow! Wilbur! I just went back to your post yesterday, and loved learning of Chet and Lois's wedding plans. And how cool that you worked in both yesterday's and today's Jumble words! Very exciting and a great success!
ReplyDeleteOl' Man Keith, enjoyed the way you worked the Jumble solution into the title of your verse this morning. And I always love your economy!
Also, thank you again for your Wordle help yesterday. As you can see, it worked for me this morning and I got it in four tries. I'm now an up-to-date member of the blog! Woohoo!
Owen ~ Gotta kick outta your linked cartoon, a prehistoric Wordle. I don’t know where you find the time to hunt for such goodies!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your poem, Misty, a flowing series of rhymes.
It was fun guessing whether & how Mary’s surgery might lead to romance, but indeed it did! And apparently because it gave her added height. Quite the opposite of my own spinal surgeries…
AND Congrats again on managing Wordle—and doing so well!
Your penultimate stab looks like the reverse—or mirror—image of my own.

Yay, results posted accurately. Although it doesn't seem to distinguish between letters placed in the right place and those in the wrong place. But my third try was all correct. Yay again!
Forgot to thank you for the compliment on my little haiku.
ReplyDeleteI think I am beginning to get the hang of it.
For the Japanese, it is not just a rigid syllable count. They aim to include a comforting closure, or else a mild surprise, or a flip in tone, or an amusing wordplay—something unexpected within the brief experience.
Yesterday I had my way with a variation on “fondue.” Today I had to find somehow to include “marrow” in a spunky girl’s activity.
Being Japanese, the changeup mustn’t be too obvious, or garish, so it can require a discerning reader to complete the communication.

Misty, I had Wednesday and Thursday in there too. And yes, Sandy expect a letter from Lois providing her side of the story.
ReplyDeleteMisty I second OMK's kudos re. Your tale of spinal bliss. And as for haiku, they certainly require a clever brain.
As did today's CC. Anybody in here try it out. It seemed to take the regulars about an hour.
