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.
“Ars Poetica”
ReplyDeleteBanding together, we make words rhyme.
Our poetic gambits run from showy lines
to basic letters. In the end, it’s a crime
to pass opportunities, like skipping fine wines.
Whether writing with feather, frond, or ball point,
one’s verse transforms one’s hovel—to the fanciest joint.

A little bit of an odd word
That was a fine piece of jumbles that describe poetic adornments like choosing a fine Merlot over Boones Farm
Hmm, writing with a frond seems difficult
I wonder if TTP could moderate this site as a Wordle/Jumble combo?
I do think it needs a West Coast person

"Anniversary"
ReplyDeleteShe still remembers when he wrote her a letter
that turned a rainy day into fair weather.
At other times he sent her flowers
whose fronds did lighten all those spring showers.
Her own gambit was to hire a band
and rhyme a song for him that she performed on the stand.
And so even in today's fierce rainy weather
they celebrate twenty-five great years together.
A happy marriage, Misty, celebrated in fine fashion.
ReplyDeleteIt is uplifting & cheery, to read how such loving gifts can remove the clouds—and let the sun shine in.
Wilbur ~ It needn’t be just West Coast.
Easterners access some timed resources earlier. But it needs to be a night owl in any case.
TTP is a good suggestion—now that Wordle seems to have slipped in. Will you make a proposal?
I wouldn’t say today’s Wordle is so odd. I found that my hint (which I assume you’ve spotted by now) flowed rather easily into place.
“Frond” was much more difficult to handle, I agree!

Loved your "Ars poetica" verse this morning, Ol' Man Keith--lovely.
ReplyDeleteHave not yet gotten around to the Worlde.
We band together here to celebrate our rhymes, some simple, some showy.
ReplyDeleteNot the Queen’s Gambit, where the letter of the law is observed.
Our poems can grow from frond to fern, or simply stay unfettered.
My vowel-rich first word was useful to eliminate. Then I had a lucky guess for my second word.

Congratulations, CanadianEh!.
ReplyDeleteI guess this isn't a contest.
But if it were, you seem to be the winner all 'round.
It would surely be wrong to count me in:

I actually played the lead, Aubrey Piper, in my high school's production of George Kelly's The Show-Off.

Delightful verse, CanadianEh!, and brilliant Wordle solution OMK. I used up all five Wordle possibilities and never got the solution and didn't want to post my failure today.
ReplyDeleteHoping for a better day tomorrow.
