FLN, Misty, it might help to spend more time sussing out the thoughts behind my words. The ideas might have led you to follow the reptilian and serpentine words to a SNAKY answer.

Today’s Jumble haiku:
(The bells, which coordinated their group-dive [past the deadly volcanic lava], were arranged for the most tightly coordinated effect.)
“(Cue:) Break Thence (& Brake!)”
The quake affected
the stuntmen’s prompts. Now their bells
were jarred out of synch!

Playing cards are sold, en masse, in decks.
I prefer to clean glass by using Windex,
and to lecture my class with cards we call “….. .”

Orijinz:
Pressure was showing on the queen's face.
Ruling was taking too great a pace.
To help her relax,
Court weatherman, Jacx,
Recruited wheelbarrows for a "baro-meters" race!
Look for me in a book, I'm an appendix,
Look for me in your bod, I'm a finger.
For one, I'll show you where to look next,
For the other, I may show where to linger.

Some background on the Cake Jump scene in November Rain
Mens of Cake
Where is that recipe?
I search the index for a plan.
I must prompt the stunt man
(For we are in cahoots)
And I quake in my boots.
How will this affect the movie?
OMK- what a convoluted title. I had great problems trying to Spooner today, and am not pleased with my title. But those J words sent us on a similar thought train re special effects. Great visual in your haiku today.
Misty- you have great Wordle prompts today.
Between OMK and Owen, there are many rhymes.
"Survival"
The violent earthquake
did our whole family shake.
It was real and not a stunt,
but its effects were not too blunt.
It did still prompt us to take
note of what was at stake.
Though many homes were wrecked,
it did luckily not ours affect.
And unlike other residents,
it cost us no significant cents
and we did not have to live in tents.
The experience did leave us distressed,
but in the end we felt lucky and blessed.
Misty- poignant reminder in your poem today of our need to count our blessings and appreciate what we have. When we see the devastating effects of fires, tornadoes, floods that seem to be occurring more frequently and closer to home, we must be better prepared for disasters and ready to help out those who were seriously affected.
Ol' Man Keith, I'm losing ground in my elder years. Tried and tried to come up with a word that rhymes with 'decks' and 'Windex' but 'jacks' didn't work and I don't think I can come up with anything else. But you still make our mornings fun.
Owen, tried looking for your appendix finger, but couldn't find that one either.
CanadianEh!, you had me look up "November Rain," which I'd never heard before. What a terribly sad story--sounds very moving.
And thank you for your kind and lovely comment on my verse. I didn't realize it, since I was just focused on finding lines for the Jumble words, but I guess I do have tragic events like the one in Maui in the back of my mind.
Have a good day, everybody, including you, Wilbur.
Misty! Hold it together, Gal!
You are far younger than I am.
Don't you use RhymeZone.com? It will hand you the answer.
In the whole English alphabet, there is only ONE word that rhymes with Windex. Even in my hint-poem, I could only approximate its sound in order to give you a first line.
In that opening line, I needed TWO words to give you a word that was not WINDEX.
That means, I left the blank for you to come up with that only other RhymeZone word!
Check out Owen's hints too. What does a book have in the back? It is something, he adds, that you ALSO have among your fingers.
~ OMK
Yes, CanadianEh! It was indeed tough to do anything with that phrase for our titles. I gave up on the "M" and just went for a rhyme.
Your "M" is... well, beyond easy understanding.
Yours reminds me that I tried for a while to use "Mensa," the name of the genius group.
But I could not reconcile high-IQs with stuntmen.
Once I got past your title, I enjoyed your poem. I connected it with mine, and felt yours brings us organically into the situation. Brrr.
I see those poor guys splattering into the lava now.
Misty,I reckon your people deserve to feel blessed. It seems the quake affected a great many folk surrounding yours, but your family was spared.
I hope they offered their volunteer service in support of their less fortunate neighbors.
And maybe they found a little time to think up the only 2-syllable 5-letter word that rhymes with 6-letter Windex.
~ OMK
Misty ~ I bet you think I already used the word, so that would put it off limits for you.
Not so.
I used something that SOUNDS exactly like the mystery word, so your ear would have picked it up.
But the 2-syllable 5-letter word (rhyming with 6-letter Windex) has yet to be named—by me.
(Or by YOU.)
~ OMK
OMK, any chance it could be INDEX?
On ship wrecks
Seabed insects
Spray the decks
With Windex
For a better sex
Index!
