Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Today’s title does not fit the poem that follows. I post it merely because whoever has suffered from acne in their right mind can possibly resist?!
Instead, I offer instructions for creating sepia-hued 3D floor decor…)
“Sane & Pimple”
Apply pennies to
make copper-toned mosaics.
(Can’t do fibulae.)
~ OMK
Misty ~ FAIR WARNING.
Yesterday afternoon, I warned you that the Wordle will never be a word I have used in my hinting poem. Today, I have to take my warning back!
And I will add, Count the dots!

I need not conspire
openly (or in code)
to make our Wordle new.
Today’s does not require
me to compose an ode,
nor should it you.
The word I showed
above doth bode
thee well: “.. … .”
~ OMK
Orijin:
We all change, like the sea each day.
Become more valuable in some way.
Gain new insight,
Form memories bright.
Gained weight? You'll elate a worm some day!
Penelope collected pennies, shiny or dull.
She sorted them by color, she had jars full!
Some weeks she'd take her allowance to the bank
And buy two rolls of pennies, then into her jars they'd clank.
At last she had enough! She called the synagogue
And asked to do a mural next to the decalogue.
She arranged her jars like a painter their paints.
Despite a bruised fibula, which caused some constraints.
Apply some glue to the back side of each coin,
Then place it oh so carefully, the mural to join.
As Penelope worked for several days,
It was the portrait of a man in ancient dress arrayed.
At first she said it was Mohammed, just to shake folks up.
Then admitted it Moses -- the decalogue was his stuff.
The mural, it was done! A plain and simple scene,
Moses with his staff, but with a copper gleam!
The artist explained to those who asked her, many:
"It's a Mosaic mosaic, made by Penny's pennies!"

WC
Slain Pimple
Here’s an ode to a teenage malady,
For which cures can cost a pretty penny.
It’s no fib you’ll ask for more,
After applying this marvellous product -
Moe’s A1 Cold Cream will your acne destruct.
"Project"
Penny was quiet and shy
when for a new job she did apply.
She had to help painting a mosaic,
work not at all prosaic.
The work her fibula did strain
which gave her a bit of ankle pain.
But though this new task was not at all simple,
it made her smile, and gave her a dimple.
OMK- where else could I go with the J answer than to my title. (As you did similarly).
Your copper-toned mosaics would be beautiful.
And I loved your W poem. Let’s see if Misty gets it - a little harder for her today I think. (And for WC I see.)
Owen- I’m not sure I have time to add Orijin to my daily schedule, but I might have a look.
Your J verse is a masterpiece once again today. Like OMK, you used the Pennie’s in the mosaic. But it was your last line that “slayed” me.
An ode to those who don't quite get it.
If you miss the words, don't regret it.
A fail teaches more
Than perfect encores!
If you still don't get it, just forget it.

Well, I tried and tried, but then finally gave up and looked up today's Wordle. I clearly don't know my electrons. But that's the gift of this blog: even if we fail, we usually learn something new. So, I'm content.
Ol' Man Keith, I can't believe that today's Wordle was right there, in your verse, just as you promised! Very clever. But even if I had believed you and searched for it, I probably would not have recognized it. Still, very clever.
Owen, your long verse today was simply delightful and amazing--I loved it. And what a sweet ending, to have Penny's pennies end up adorning a mosaic! And in addition to that you give us so many pleasurable rhymes--'bank/clank', 'synagogue/decalogue'--with a creative spirit in both your theme and your verse itself. Totally enjoyable.
CanadianEh!, if your clever verse weren't enough of a treat, you give us a title that totally cracks us up: "Slain Pimple.' And then you literally have your poem make this the topic of your ode. A real riot.
Finally Wilbur, looks like you had to work hard on today's Wordle. Good for you to stick with it and get it to work.
Have a great day, everybody!
By gosh, Owen, you are on another of your creative streaks!
No wonder sleep sometimes overtakes you. Your super-energetic artistry has got to be balanced by physical as well as mental fatigue.
On top of your Penelope's penny mosaics, you're launching your new "Orijin" game, and giving us your own version of an ode to W!
Whe-eww!
Misty ~ Glad I am that you enjoyed my hinting verse--even if you could not solve it today. As CEh says, today's was "a little harder," and you admitted to a lack of familiarity with the subject matter.
But if a similar form of hinting should occur to me in the future, remember my extra advice:
Count the dots. Check out today's poem again to see what I mean!
The Penny of your poem seems to carry your own happy temperament. She smiles even when her task is "not at all simple."
WC ~ You got it, my man; that's what counts. You got it, and all on your own! Bravo to you!
CanadianEh! ~ I guessed we would have similar titles. Yours is much more aligned with your poem's subject matter. Each "Slain Pimple" must help the sales of Moe's wonder lotion!
I see you also found the same way to include the W.
Funny thing how we can include all this data in our poems. When I was younger, I never gave much credence to those "scholars" who claimed that Shakespeare and his contemporaries engaged in lots of coded references in their poetry. This was peripheral to my main areas of Elizabethan study, and I was quick to dismiss it.
(They were many of the same bozos who insisted Shakespeare was somebody else. I just took them all to be cranks.)
But now I see how tempting it is--and how one example leads to others!
As Misty says, "we usually learn something new."

My penultimate guess was GNOME
WC
Misty and OMK- I’m glad you enjoyed my offering today. I had fun being totally silly. Did you find the F and M words that I hid? I was rather pleased with the F hiding spot, but I must admit the M involves some cheating of I and 1.
OMK- I never look at your haiku before doing the J, but I must admit I did read your W poem after I posted my W. I may have subconsciously picked up that idea for including the W in my poem.
Misty- Penny sounds like a lovely person - quiet, shy, smiling through her pain, and with a dimple no less. I like the mosaic/prosaic rhyme.
The W was hard today. Keep trying.
