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.
“Gnarring Bowls”
ReplyDeleteIronic spiral!
featuring slash-and-grunt chops—
too aged to be raw.

I horsed around with a j-word to start
WC
"Career Spirals"
ReplyDeleteHer first performance was a big splash
that actually did some records slash.
But ironically she then performed a stunt
that made both her critics and fans grunt.
Bad news then quickly went viral
and caused her career to spiral.
But eventually her rankings went back up in the polls
and she's now back in starring roles.
Canada Day here.
ReplyDeleteI got the Wordle . . . finally.

I may be back depending on whether the rain holds off for going to the parade.
O CanadianEh! ~
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Canada Day! Hope the rain holds off, and you get to go to the parade!

I forgot to lead off with Rabbit Rabbit.
Hope this doesn't mean I'm in for a month of woe.

Misty ~ Were it not for that final couplet, this would have been nearly tragic, quite a change for you.
Still, that late reprieve feels a tad forced. You may find a rich field to explore amid the world of spiraling careers.
I got a kick out of envisioning her fans grunting. Ouch.

Hard to see so many friends struggling with Wordle this morning.
But glad you knocked it out in the end.
Its resistance hardly amounts to a pint o' beans.

I agree, Wilbur!
I wonder why, but am thankful to Owen for his continued generosity.

Don't forget, OMK, that my verses have to incorporate all the Jumble words, which today included negative ones like SLASH and GRUNT and IRONIC, and then ended with the positive STARRING ROLLS. So my verse had to do the same, include the negativity, but end positively.
ReplyDeleteIronic?
ReplyDeleteThe Chicano pinto
Scored a starring role
In the slash and grunt movie.
More downward spirals!
I found another meaning for the Wordle answer in the Chicano prison culture. They even have a pinto poetry! What you don’t learn when you Google.
My offering is even more negative than Misty’s, but we do have to work with what we are given.
OMK played it safe with food (I smiled at those slash and grunt chops from the butcher).
Thanks Owen for putting the site up.
Rain and thunderstorms threatening. We will hope for better weather for the fireworks tonight.
AH, yes, Misty, it is hard for me to forget that we all must work with the words we're given.
ReplyDeleteBut we have the right to treat them in any order we find useful. I often play with the solution phrase in my poem's titles, but not always.
We all--you, too!--deserve to take some liberties.
What is it Mel Gibson was shouting in that old movie, Braveheart? "Free-dom,
Free-ee-Dom!"
CanadianEh! ~ Glad you saw the butchering angle. Otherwise, my little piece might be too obscure.
I was afraid the "pithiness" that I advocate in my notes (which see, 2 nights ago, FLN) might have caught up with me, turning terseness into indecipherability.
Anyway, it was while I watched some YouTube videos that I noticed that lamb chops can result from a butcher's "spiral" series of cuts.
Ironic, eh?
~ OMK
Owen, if you're out there
ReplyDeleteMy son will attempt to post tomorrow's (2-jul-22) blog using the instructions
Note, we just posted a trial run. He will do the final pixel editing that's missing.

Chet was beside himself chuckling over the role reversal
ReplyDeleteHe'd watched as his feisty fiance was no longer an enemy but a pal.
Now he must corner Charles who was grunting and groaning
At the barbecue pit. How ironic he mused, 'I thought Lois had to do the atoning'.
Charles was slashing at a rib roast carving spiral pieces onto a platter
"Hello there Chet, why the long face? Is there something the matter?"
"Why do I feel shame", thought Chet, "I've fully recovered,
I no longer need to blend into the crowd for fear of being discovered"
"Everything's fine here, Charles, you mentioned just last weekend
That there might be a problem with my marrying Lois. What could that portend?"

Note I've included Saturday's J's. Have fun guessing what those words could be.
DeleteOh look, it's wordle time. What word should I start with
WC
It's fun to play around with first guesses and then try to find my way out of the pickle. I know, solving this way is for the birds.
