Only the fourth clue took a few moments' thought, and then the solution was pretty obvious. Kind of clever.

I hope you feel up to a poem today, Owen, because I'm dying to know how you'll fit these six words into a poem. I know you can; I just can't imagine how!!

Sandy ~ One of the many things that delight me aboutOwen is that he often seems to be as surprised as we are when he manages to get all the words in.

Meteorologists are a brain force who point to clouds as our primary rain source.

Artists are known by their style, in the main,
And will, of course stick, to their frame of fame.
With Banksy, you'll look to a wall with graffito.
With Christo, gaze at the gauze on a gazebo.

Artist elicited a ratio of wonder and awe,
Between the outlandish and the beauty one saw.
With my trapezoid mosaics, the moment I prize
Is when the viewer really opens their eyes!

Wrote the poem early evening, but then overslept again. This time I a least turned on the auto-post before I went to sleep. Still haven't even looked at the crossword yet.

Been making memes for Facebook and new Trapagrams that I haven't posted online yet (you have to work the jigsaws to see the poems about them)

Looked up an old artwork site I once tried to sell things at.

So great to see you here every day, Sandyanon. I had trouble with the fourth word, but got the solution, thanks to Ol'Man Keith's gloss. Then Owen's delightful poem appeared and there was the fourth word, which silly me should have gotten. I'm not a golfer, but that sure is a lovely green in the cartoon, isn't it? Fun Jumble visit all around, thanks everybody.

I just couldn't get #4 and had misread an N for a W. OMK's (what'd you call it, Misty?) Gloss? got me the solution. I then finally had the three letters in #4 and I artfully grok'ed the last J.

Of course it would have popped immediately if I'd gone to the poem. Which was splendid and reminds me of the artwork I see on FB (do any of you fellow jumblers do FB?)

And I loved your lick's today Owen. B my foot.

Since I only needed the "Spoon" I'm calling it a half cheat

Glad my "spoons" acould help!
I always check first to see if a real Spoonerism is possible. Today it would have been something like...

Many folk love to indulge themselves with candy cane. Morse, as in Samuel (the famous code-maker), had just such a sweet tooth.

Whaddya think? Was that worth the effort--and your time?

GOOD NEWS: Janice is HOME from the hospital! At last! Now we have to keep the happy dogs from mauling her.

That is such wonderful news, Ol'Man Keith--so happy to hear that Janice is home. My sweet Rowland was in three different hospitals for four entire months after his stroke, and I have to tell you, the day he came home at last was one of the happiest days of my life. So you both should celebrate!
