Thursday’s Jumble haiku:
(Preparing to raise the old galleon, the maritime reclamation team rehearsed their boat-floating song.
To keep morale high, they’d need to be in good voice. They opened their songbooks together, as their leader announced…)
“So, (The) ’Nine (Fathoms’) Tune!”
𝄞 ♬ To hoist the sunken
ship in tempo timely, ♬ we’ll
need wisdom— ♪ brine-ly ♪.

Having solved the J last night I had to recall the riddle-solution to decipher the title Spoon
Very clever and fits the verse so well
WC
Sometimes the Jumble words lead to silly verses.
"Spirits Rising"
Tammy needed some tempo
to help her the stairs to climb;
she would need to go very slow
and may not get there on time.
She sweated, which left her moist,
and with her wisdom sunken.
If only something could her hoist,
she would feel a lot less drunken.
She moved to a new place in June
with an elevator next to her room.
It came not a moment too soon
to put her spirits over the moon.
Thank you, Wilbur. I’m grateful for your compliments
(and appreciate that you didn’t tarry to bestow them).
Misty ~Your verse is indeed “silly”—on the good side of inanity!
You know how much I prefer your chosen rhyme scheme today. The first two stanzas marry ABAB with an Ogden Nashian sense of humor.
It is a delight : Your readers are treated to Misty at her best!

Why, thank you for your very kind praise of my verse this morning, Ol' Man Keith--you've just made my day.
In turn, I was enchanted by your lovely musical haiku! Just lovely, and made me desperately wish I could actually hear it!
Now we just need a bit more musical poetic charm from Wilbur and CandadianEh!.
Sea Shanty
Hoist the sails,
No time for sunken dreams.
The project was dead it seems,
And wisdom must prevail.
His Spotify songs had no streams,
And money was running out soon,
With no source of new cash flow.
He could keep tempo,
But couldn’t carry a tune.
I’m late getting back today.
Aren’t we all in rare musical form today! And I was able to fit the Wordle in immediately.
OMK- A Plus today for that haiku and title. How long does it take you to think it up and perfect it?
Misty- your Tammy with her spirits rising is delightful.
ABBAB
CDDC = That's an intricate scheme from you today, CanadianEh! You have the knack, and you're getting it down.
I do feel for your guy, though, as it seems his music wasn't streaming quite so well as that of my shanty-chanting crew.
I congratulate you on offering a Wordle hint (even as he couldn't carry that tune). You may have noticed I dropped a couple of clues myself, somewhat embedded in my notes to Wilbur & Misty.
Glad you enjoyed my haiku and its title. Hmm... hard to say how long it takes to come up with these each night.
This one was pretty easy, except for hunting for the cut-and-paste musical notes.
The 17 syllables took about 30 minutes. The title took longer, as I had to decide on adding the parenthetical words to the Spoonerism. I don't like doing that, but sometimes it is necessary.
I'd say the title and the polishing lasted on and off for a couple of hours--while watching TV & doing other things.

CEh! ~ Did you start with NEURO?
Was ANGRY one of your words?
~ OMK
Wilbur ~ TONIC?
Hard to say what your 3rd word was. Anything from CABBY to CAMPY...

Did I just get today's Wordle on a single try? Let me see:
Wordle 495 1/6
����������
Woohoo! I can't believe I did it. Thank you, Ol' Man Keith for the helpful hints you embedded in your messages to Wilbur and me! Woohoo! This is the first Wordle in my whole life that I ever got on my first try, as far as I can remember. You've just made my day!
You are very welcome, Misty
--and Congratulations !!
Wouldn't it be fun to cap it off by planting a clue of your own?!
(For the rest of us to appreciate, and maybe for some random visitor to make use of....)

OMK- thanks for your praise of my intricate rhyme scheme. I was so happy to have some rhymes appear fairly easily at the start, that I worked to have every line rhyme with some other line. Perhaps an unorthodox result LOL!
Re Wordle: I started with Utero. (Interesting that Neuro would have given the same result.). Guess three was Angry.
Congrats Misty. I had noticed “tarry” but missed the other hint.
Hah! Yes, UTERO & NEURO would give you the same result.
When I play, I still use ADIEU for my first level. I don't see anything to be gained by switching.
The second level is the real key when there are no hits (or just one) for the first word. I would love to use NYTRO--to cover the two "other" vowels--but the NY Times doesn't recognize that as a word.
N, T, and R are the most common consonants in our English vocabulary. But H is the next most popular, so maybe I''ll skip Y & go with THORN.
Or keep Y and settle for HORNY.
