Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(Gardeners’ Journal once published a list of plants thought to be transplanted weeds, like kudzu, that should actually be welcomed in the northeastern U.S.
Two issues later, they rescinded their “welcome.” Editors declared it a mistake, and said old extermination rules should be maintained throughout New England, considered…)
”Stet in Zone”
Invasive kudzus
make messy entry where
vi-
olets are native.

You can’t do this if you don’t have the time,
and lawyers’ll cost you more than a dime.
Misdemeanor or felony, they all count as ……
a word that’s easy to rhyme!

Sanders was searching for something Jurassic
ReplyDeleteSome unique fossil that would be a classic.
What he found set in stone was nice:
A bee in amber, trapped in orangish ice.
The bee was a treasure, but the real find
was the pollon stuck to its messy behind!
It was still viable, declared this scientist,
Who said it was related to a native violet!
A flower was carefully pollinated in the lab.
Its seeds were planted by the entry slab.
They grew with vigor, and like a venus flytrap
Ate flies, then dogs, then at people they'd snap!
Sanders tried to uproot them, but couldn't alone.
They'd rooted in the slab: they were set in stone!
Coleridge provided the initial rhyme
ReplyDeleteFor the Ancient Mariner's Rime.
Because he killed an albatross,
To what sin was he lost?
What offense was committed on the foamy brine?

Magnificent again. I picked a random starter and an equally random second word for the win.

Inset Stone
ReplyDeleteIt was a crime of passion,
Done in a messy fashion.
Entry made by window smashing.
Stolen - a priceless ring
Sitting on display.
With amethyst native to Thunder Bay
Flashing its violet hues.
C-eh, "Its violet hues flashing " would give you the AA,C;BB,C
ReplyDeleteOMK, re. Your SPAM deletion over at CC...
Some time back you offended the gods of blog goodness and now it seems you're targeted.
Blogger doesn't know what to make of your anagram and said background
When in doubt, White'em out
WC
Yes, WC- OMK provides a straight-forward blank to fill in the W, while Owen prances all around it with rhymes and synonyms. Misty should benefit both ways.
ReplyDeleteOMK- great title. I wondered about using STET but couldn’t make the newspaper association with the other words and W. Your backstory explains perfectly. Did you mean for Vi-olets to appear SIC, or did it get divided up and on next line in the posting?
Owen- your imagination astounds me. Is it Sci-fi to think about all the scary possibilities if we are now able to resurrect DNA from the past, and recreate old life forms?
Did I get all the J words in?
ReplyDeleteI tried to write a verse about a sentry
who was guarding a museum entry
when a rare native stone was lost
creating a mess at the museum's cost.
At last the violet gem was found
and the sentry's job is again sound.
Ol' Man Keith, you amazingly once again got all four Jumble words and solution into your clever haiku! Terrific--a pleasure to see.
ReplyDeleteAnd just now I had time to read your Wordle clue and once again, it worked! Woohoo! Fun to get a Wordle today:

Many thanks for this gift too!
My goodness, Owen, what a fascinating plot your verse has today, beginning with a variety of nature from fossils to bees, to pollen, and to lovely violets which surprisingly turn into monsters! My goodness--gave me a shock at the end.
ReplyDeleteWilbur, I just read your commentary and maybe I should take a day or two when I skip over OMK's wonderful and much appreciated clues and just produce my messier Wordle. But I have to confess: I wouldn't mind becoming Wordler of the Year!
ReplyDeleteCanadianEh!, I think you could have a wonderful career ahead as a possible mystery writer. You take pretty bland and innocent words and quickly turn them into a dramatic and slightly scary story--a real surprise! And a potentially productive gift!
ReplyDeleteWC ~ Regarding your note about hints to Misty, do you recall who posted his disapproval of Wordle when it first entered our blog? More than once?
ReplyDeleteIt was George Santayana who wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
What do you suppose he would say is an appropriate fate for those who DO recall the past, but say “WTF”?
~ OMK
Misty ~ I can’t say whether or not you got all the J-words in.
ReplyDeleteI rarely “police” others’ postings like I do my own 17 syllables.
When you allow two or three stanzas to fit them in, I figure you should be able to do it. My concern is whether each piece stands on its own as a poem— Y’know, the old-fashioned concerns of theme, arc, rhythm, rhyme, individuality…
CanadianEh! Your smash-n-grab crime report is really quite lovely.
I especially like how you “bury” the rhyme in your last line. While reducing the importance of rhyme, it elevates the preciousness of that ring by breaking it free of a reader’s expectation.
~ OMK
Oh, and CEh, I had to break up “violets” to keep the 2nd line to the required 7 syllables.
ReplyDelete(And the 3rd to five.)
~ OMK
Enjoyed you all. Yes, Misty, you got them all included.
ReplyDeleteRe my flashing last line: I created it in a hurry, and totally missed the possible rhyme with smashing. But I will take compliments about ithe rhyme being buried. I feel that I have progressed in my ability to create an offering with rhymes. Thanks all for your encouragement and ideas.
