ReplyDeleteAlthough I meant to take today off, I saw that the site wasn’t turning automatically to the 4th, so I went to make the change. But I couldn’t remember properly how I used to do it.
I hope people can find their way here.

Thank you, thank you, Ol' Man Keith. When I tried to post my verse an hour ago, there was no site and I worried that there would be no Jumble for us today. So it's wonderful to see that you got our site back up. Thank you, again.
ReplyDelete"Revision"
Bert behaved in a sweet social manner
which got him rewarded with a banner.
It was colorful and oblong,
and delivered with a song.
The girls all began to flirt
and this did Bert's attention divert,
and while driving he checked a map,
causing his car to have a mishap.
This cost a considerable price
and did Bert strongly entice
to become more careful and stable
and work up a whole new label
which produced a successful revision
and a healthy new condition.

Thanks OMK for getting us up and running today.
ReplyDeleteI copied my post to here.
I’m recovering today after an extremely busy, tiring, but satisfying week.
I got an Impressive today (started with the vowel-rich French word).

So glad to see you back with us, CanadianEh!. Glad you had a good week, satisfying if very busy. Hope you have a relaxing weekend--take it easy, and take good care of yourself!
Well, so much for taking a day off…
ReplyDeleteI only meant to look in briefly, but the shock of finding no new page woke me up completely. I gave in and worked the J-words into 12 lines. A bit combative, I see.
“Battle Field”
The oblong banner flutters above our group.
We’re the unit sent to flank and divert the foe.
We’ll draw their fighting away from our southern paratroop
landings and do our damn’dest to entice ’em to show
their teeth to us. And then our paras can jump
back o’ their lines. We’ll stabilize this condition
with blood, or else just be bums, a social rump.
Let’s shoot to be Heroes, in the dominant field position!
By the end of day, pray God we’ve fooled their eyes
and got the jump on em with a commando surprise.
We won’t all make it, Men, but no time for regrets,
Grab your rifles, and fix bayonets!
~ OMK
With only two more lines than me,Misty, you managed to bring your hero, Bert, full circle—from a glorious banner-winning, girl-flirting tunefully happy state, through the nadir of his car crash, back to a revived state of musical bliss.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
We still don’t know the outcome of my guys’ decoy mission. And probably never will…

Wow! Wow! I can't believe that you've given us something so much more than your lovely haiku today, but a twelve-line poem, with every single Jumble word plus the complex solution worked into an exciting narrative from a military commander addressing his troops on a battle field. That's a pretty complex story, with a lot of emotional power and cool word pairs and rhymes, beginning with coupling the "oblong banner," "entice" them to show teeth, and "stabilize the condition" in their "field position." But my favorite was your rhyming "regrets" with "bayonets.
ReplyDeleteYou're a grand poet, OMK, and now you not only know it--you really show it!
Speaking of real poets, I can't wait to hear from you all today, Owen, CanadianEh!, and Wilbur's Chet and Lois. Let's continue a great September poetry beginning!
I posted today's Wordle late last night. At first I thought of the prefix as OMK hinted at then remembered the funereal definition
ReplyDeleteIf OMK's troops are fixing bayonets and charging they must be early 19th century troops. Pugel sticks was meant to teach bayonet tactics but just became a brawling exhibition
Misty, I m glad Bert overcame that narcissistic bent and is settling down
The riddle-solution was obvious this morning but I hate six letter J's
I'll go see if I have mail from the C&L or N&C gang

[Letter from Charles Ludwig III]
ReplyDeleteDear Wilbur, sorry I missed you at our banner bash last week
My attention was diverted to the mishap with Chet, which I did not seek
Normally I'm a very social guy but I wished to stabilize matters
With Chet. His condition improved upon seeing Nora's oblong platters
'Unfair' you say to entice a young man with such savory victuals
The enticement is Lois ; The excitement the coming nuptials
WC
Nice of Charles to keep you personally updated, Wilbur, as to Chet's "mishap" and the sequelae (follow-ups) with Nora's food and Lois' person!
ReplyDeleteAs for my bayonet charge, there was not all that much coordinated paratroop action in the 19th century.
I checked via Google, of course, and while the bayonet was not used often in WW2, it definitely was employed.
Not only that, but there was apparently a proper bayonet assault in 2004 by British troops in Iraq.
Check it out.

And WC, I sorta remember a much photographed defensive line of bayonets back in the ‘60s, protecting the Pentagon from flower children…
