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.

Sir Reele he would wander countrysides
Battling for peace, and what that comprised.
In the midst of his knight errantry
He sometime was invited to a high tea.
If it was served at an informal brunch,
Ladies would admire Reele and other hunks.
Sometimes notes would pass, soto-communicado,
Inn room number from lady to choice bravo!
On formal occasions, the impact of physique
Was still noted, but notes were more discreet.
Like skins of onions, in layers peeling off,
At night, some titled layers' peelings would doff.
My apologies for the delayed post. I forgot to press the 'publish' button when I set it up yesterday.
Thank you, Owen, for starting the new day.
I am re-posting below.

Wordle Hint: Begins with T; a date, a rendezvous, a lovers’ _____.
One of the published online hints says the word ends in S. This is not true.

”Incommunicado”
In the midst of brunch,
I fear the onion’s impact
on the omelet.

Yes, I used one of the J's to start. But my string of 3s evaporated along with all the vowels

"Betty's Brunch"
In the midst of enjoying her brunch
Betty had an interesting hunch:
would it have a tasty impact
if her stew an onion lacked?
She would try it, and communicate
with a friend, whose lunch she often ate.
Her friend came and enjoyed Betty's stew
and commended her onion-less menu.
(verses don't get much worse than this when you have to work an 'onion' into them)
Nice work, Misty: a compact poem that hits all the J-words & solution straightforwardly.
Weren’t these some of the easiest words to work with?
And kudos to you, WC, working hintless!
I bet it was a bit of a shocker, finding all vowels stricken!

Owen, I can't remember (not so strange with me) if your surreal Sir Reele has been seen here before.
Are yesterday and today his only appearances--so far? He is a character I might like to know better, maybe lift a mug o' mead with.
I enjoyed today's ending, neatly blurring the peeling of onions with the doffing of garments, all the while (perhaps!) nodding toward Peer Gynt's metaphor.
And, for that matter, Wordle's tryst!

Making love to Wordle
Having MIDST s a starter
And two letters in place
I began my QUEST
For vowels
This'll be a BLAST I thought
What's the WORST that can happen
Why, why me I moaned
Dry those tears :
There's always Y
This was a love* worth the TRYST
*The fun is being in a hole and digging out
With a guess to spare
Yes, I have had that fun.
Teeth gnashing sometimes, but hey, Man vs. Machine!
Another kind of fun, WC, is deciphering a hint & trying to crack it in just 1 or 2 tries.
Feels like Bletchley Park & the Enigma victory!

Woohoo! My son is visiting and he helped me get today's Wordle:

My son urged me to get out of the house and go down to Laguna Beach with him and take a walk around. It took me a while to start enjoying it but in the end it was fun, ending with seeing all those beach umbrellas and folks at the beach. We do live in a pretty cool town, don't we?
