  1. FLN, I posted my last missive late yesterday.
    ____________

    Today’s Jumble haiku:
    (To all who insist on decoding an innocent verse, No, this one does not contain a reference to “more virus.”
    It is merely an instruction in flower-arranging, thank you very much!
    It is definitely NOT a…)

    ”Pun, Narrow-Spelled”

    Let’s annex that mauve
    iris into my floral
    bouquet. How placid!

  2. The greenhouse was gorgeous, full of flowers!
    One could wander in there for hours!
    And in an annex grew
    Veggies that could make a stew!

    In amongst this placid place,
    With floral beauties full of grace,
    One could smell such strong perfume
    It could almost cause a swoon!

    Experiments were going on
    A truly black black rose to spawn.
    It was a problem still to solve.
    So far was only a deep deep mauve.

    It was a quest unparalleled.
    Other black roses simply smelled!

  3. New York was once New Amsterdam
    It never knew a traffic jam
    Those years ago
    New York woe
    Was smart dame, its anagram!

  5. "Good Move"

    Annie moved into her annex,
    along with her puppy Rex.
    The place was quiet and placid
    and gave her life a new facet.
    The walls were mauve and coral
    and the garden was lovely and floral.
    The move was an unparalleled gift
    from which Annie will never shift.

  6. Owen outdoes himself these days,
    in humorous verse, like today’s mixture
    of New Amsterdam as a wise old lady,
    inspiring me—as a fellow trickster.

    My dear devi & her guru mate
    offer lessons to our asana circle.
    They call their B’nB a “Yoga Inn,”
    anagramming our Saturday Wordle.

  7. I'm glad, Misty, to approve
    of Annie and Rex,
    and their happy move
    to their annex, next.
    Not every re-lo
    ends so happily.
    Leave it to you, though,
    t'assure closure, affably!

  8. Ol' Man Keith,

    What a gift from you today,
    a lovely poetic bouquet.
    And you went on to hire us
    a florist who grew us an iris.
    Your gift was both placid and kind
    and will always be kept in our mind.

    I visited your magic place
    and did its beauty and grace embrace.
    Its fragrance gave us all some magic,
    and the black rose did not make it tragic.
    You are a poet of the highest score
    and your gift could not be admired more.

  10. Wilbur, we miss you
    and CanadianEh!,

    with us today.

  11. Greek playwrights had the Agon--
    easily summarizing arguments--
    w/o recourse to dodo or dragon,
    allowing each side's wisest sense.

    Owen debates the virtues of flowers,
    giving aesthetic values their due,
    seeking to breed olfactory powers
    in deep-dark roses, the blackest of hue.

    The former leave conclusions to kings & queens,
    the latter allows inconclusivity.
    Between tragic fate and botanic genes,
    a lot of motion, but no viability.

    And we all hope you are well!
