The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is definitely NOT required.
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.

“Elaine: I have to go and break up with Owen.
George: No, we just have a different interpretation—!”
—Dialogue from
SEINFELD, Season 3, Ep. 11

The sun room was an atrium of impressive size,
Where youngsters in love would trade yearning sighs.
Someimes used for small concerts by folk
Who would play a sonata, or something baroque.
A ball could be held there, with courtly dance,
As well as tarantellas, dancers whirling in a trance!
The foyer was truly a strait and narrow way,
Tha led frm the hotel to the sun room straight away!
”Wait! A Stray
(…snatch of a tune may
have you tapping your toes.)”
A sonata in the atrium can inspire a dancer
to twirl & whirl—a truly groovy prancer!

Well, Lois, I'm not Keith or Misty but I thought I'd give it a whirl
Give it to me straight, perhaps it's not a Puccini Sonata
Heard from an atrium in Milan or the white shores of Malta
I just wanted to say
Truly in my own way
That you're one helluva girl

Wow! Wow! Wow! It's not yet 9am in California, and already there are three fabulous Jumble poems created by you colleagues here on the blog! And each one is simply amazing.
I went through each one of your verses, and each one displayed each of the four Jumble words and both words in the solution! I don't think I ever remember a Jumble morning like this, and on a Saturday yet. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ol' Man Keith, Owen, and Wilbur. My paltry effort hardly deserves to join this great display.
"More Romance"
Julie wore a lovely pearl
and liked to whirl her curl.
She was often invited to come
and sing a sonata in our atrium.
Her boyfriend loved her truly
and waited on Julie duly
straight from the very first date,
and could no longer wait.
And so in May they went away
to celebrate their wedding day.
Thank you, thank you, Misty, for your happy greeting to our combined efforts. I am delighted to be in such august company!
Your own poem today is a cheerful reminder that a happy ending is what we all seek.
And I love the way you slip a subtle bit of nonsense into your verse:
Would I be too uppity
if I offer to accompany
Julie’s solo sonata
on my 12-string cantata?
~ OMK
OMK, go ahead and play,
you'll make my day.
BTW,
My favorite Sinatra
of all his sonatas,
was back in ‘45
(ain’t no jive)
when he tickled the ivories
kickin’ off the World Series.

"So Chet", said Lois, "How do you know Keith and who is this Misty?"
And don't give me any mumbo-jumbo"
"Relax, my dove, they're poets on the Jumble"
The old man wrote Shakespearian theses
And Misty, nee Margot, is an expert on Ulysses
Never fear my love, for your trust I'd never stumble
WC
So, Wilbur, Lois is getting jealous? I guess that's a sign of her feelings for Chet, but it's too bad she doesn't yet trust him. I expect they're both feeling a bit insecure, understandable since perhaps neither yet wholly trusts him/herself. What do you think?
Hey, Wilbur, I am not sure whether to thank you for the veiled shout-out to me and Misty or to yell at you to hurry up and convince Lois that we are definitely NOT out to complicate her life. Neither of us is a correspondent in any kind of affair involving her Chet!
We were flattered to be mentioned...
But, y'know, there is a limit.
~ OMK
Sandy, perhaps tomorrow's jumble will supply some clues. What red-blooded man or woman doesn't raise the red flag when the opposite sex is mentioned.
Perhaps Misty can text Lois and assuage her fears.
WC
I can't speak for Chet but apparently he reads the Jumble and has tried to pick up some poetic tips from you and Misty.
Lois, like apparently everyone I know, is not a Jumbler not to speak of the doggerel therein.
Again, you two should be flattered that Chet holds you in such high esteem.
Plus, Lois has her locket and the sonnet with it, now Chet merely needs to take her out for a romantic dinner
WC
Chet, btw, if you're reading this "DONT MENTION SANDY!"
?????
Sandy, I think Wilbur doesn’t want Lois to pick up on another female in Chet’s life.
We know you have nothing but good intentions, but Lois seems prone to suspicion.
~ OMK
Lois, you must know I don't know Chet--
we've never virtually or really met.
He's just teasing you
by using a silly Jumble clue.
