    Haiku Background: Some flamboyant artistic types may incorporate false pieces in their coiffures.
    One hopes such extras can survive tempests…

    EZ, Please, with the Headwinds!

    Buddy, the honcho
    of our Mosaic Workshop,
    sports a Christo weave.

    Head honcho to buddy,
    “The mosaic tiles go into the apron of the fountain.”
    Mist and strong headwinds made things muddy
    And delayed them on the mountain.

  3. "Friendship"

    Bob had a very kind buddy
    who helped him with work in his study.
    The guy was a diligent honcho
    who enjoyed wearing a poncho.
    He helped Bob design a mosaic
    that looked ancient and archaic.
    They worked hard to create no peeve,
    which did good spirits weave.
    In the end Bob promoted his peer
    with a headwind that launched his career.

  4. Misty,
    Please attend to me, pronto,
    your Bob & Canada’s honcho
    could be the same guys!
    They might take the prize
    if applying to my atelier.
    (We’ll negotiate the pay.)

    Let’s unite our tiles
    & not be so dispersed.
    our co-op is all smiles;
    free-lancing’s the worst!

    Please consider the joy that harmony brings.
    Weigh my offer; it comes with no strings!

    I always enjoy getting your news,
    but even more, your clever haikus.
    Now your longer verses are an even bigger treat
    though I fear, as a poet, you may me defeat.
    But I don't care: just keep up you new poetic feat.

  6. P.S., OMK,

    My response to your offer is "I'm in!"
    By working together, we both will win.

  7. CanadianEh!,

    Love that your fountain had an apron,
    which would be fun, but not easy to don.
    But at least muddy buddy will get a bath,
    and hopefully take on a whole new path.

  10. C&L at the threshold

    The couple arrived at Charles and Nora's mosaic tiled patio.
    Chet's head was still roiled; weaving interrelationship ratios
    "Could we survive as buddies?" Chet idly pondered.
    "The headwinds may be against us but my love won't be squandered"

    "Charles may be a head honcho, a downtown ViP
    But does he understand true love? Healthy life's recipe?"

  11. FLN, MISTY & WILBUR ~ I was going to ask about your current Wordles,
    but I see neither of you replied to my question yesterday.
    How about it?
    Was PRIOR your next-to-last word?

    (No sense my trying again if there's no interest...)
    Thanks.

    C & L seem to be on the verge of the ultimate commitment. I wonder how much their plans depend on Charles--if at all.
    They seem to care a lot about his opinion, even though they aren't sure how much he understands of their feelings for one another.

  12. Misty- I fooled you with that apron. I was thinking of the lesser-known meaning - .
    a small area adjacent to another larger area or structure.
    "a tiny apron of garden"
    a hard-surfaced area on an airfield used for maneuvering or parking aircraft.
    "the pilot was instructed to park on the main apron"
    a projecting strip of stage for playing scenes in front of the curtain.
    noun: apron stage;”

    WC- I’m rooting for Chet &Lois.

    OMK & Misty - how kind of you to profer your offer?
    I would be a jerk to not make it work.
    I am agleam to be on your team,
    And will commit without remitment!

  13. OMK, sorry I overlooked it. PRIOR sounds familiar. I actually can't remember anything about a wordle five minutes after solving. Btw, here's my latest

    Wordle 363 3/6

    ⬛🟨🟩⬛⬛
    🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

    And while I'm at it more about Chet and Lois(Friday js)

    No one threw a party like Nora whether a family gathering
    Or a Cabernet, Merlot winery-fest with everything.
    For the abstainers there were foamy mugs of root beer
    She could outbid the A-list crowd and have only the best there

    But no written invitations tonight, that wasn't to be Nora's way
    She wanted Chet and Lois to relax, lay back and enjoy the day

  14. Thanks, WC.
    I dunno about your #362 Wordle.
    I'd take a stab with PRAWN... Maybe?
    (Too soon to try #363.)

    Your latest poem celebrates Nora's hostessing skill, with a clever usage of the J-words well sprinkled about.
    My fave were your "foamy mugs of root beer."
    We must wait a bit longer to see how Charles may affect C&L's romance!
