Happy Halloween,

Today’s Jumble haiku:
“A Talk, a la
Ted: to Hoe
your Turf & Smooth your Diction”
Pronunciation’s
the theme. Does “Foy-YAY” or “-YER”
make you feel madder?

WC- we tied today. I had a lucky WAG on guess three. Very pertinent.
Rhymes with Foyer?
A Halloween theme
Would be apt for today.
Maybe a Mad Hatter
With a leather and silk creation,
Perhaps a clown with red nose,
Or Yeti with big toes.
Neither the former or the latter;
I chose a smooth-headed
Freddie Krueger.
OMK- “Ted:to hoe” brought a load guffaw.
And I swear that I did not read your “Pronunciations the theme” before I chose my title! Great minds think alike . . . and we did have that discussion last week.
"Cooperation"
Lois worked with a lawyer
from her office in his foyer.
They made a productive team,
and always agreed on a theme.
But the smooth alliance began to tatter
when a case came up with a difficult matter
that put them both into a lather.
At first they quarreled head to toe
but soon their differences began to slow,
as they worked out a cooperative deal
that did their relationship thankfully heal.
To my Sunday off
I raise a hearty quaff!!
I like your array of possible ‘Ween costumes, CEh!
As for the f-word, I believe you inspired the Jumble gods’ selection—and we are all indebted.
Both you and Wilbur Birdied the W today and are equally generous in leaving relevant clues in your wake, fittingly aiding any seekers of aid!
Misty ~ I take it you are no longer doing the Wordles?
Our comrades both whirled hints a-plenty for no. 498 & have done the same for 499.
Or, will you be giving the latter a later try?
Your poem today completed its arc,
as the partners encountered that difficult issue,
stumbled, but brought it home to park.
Good job: so let me now wish you
a Happy Halloween,
… Ol’ Bean!
~ OMK
Let me add a word of gratitude, Misty, for your appreciation yesterday of my long poem.
In form (if hardly achievement) it was a Shakespearean sonnet—three quatrains of alternating (ABAB) rhyme in iambic pentameter, followed by a rhyming or “heroic” couplet.
Thank you for your warm words, describing your response to my effort.
I aimed to describe how most Sundays my brave resolution to avoid the Jumble simply “crumbles” in the end.
Ironically (of course), yesterday was the first Sunday in a very long time when my resolve actually held. Except for that very poem, I managed to stay mum all day!
~ OMK
Except, of course, briefly to Wilbur at 12:17 am.
But that was the new day—today!—so technically doesn’t count.
~ OMK
Happy Halloween, everybody!
Great to have you back in full swing today, Ol' Man Keith, with a delightful haiku, and a kind verse for me--but, hey, I'm not an Ol' Bean, even at my age. How about a 'Gold Queen'? Na, I'm not into monarchy.
But I loved your explanation of your ABAB plus couplet strategy, and I'm going to try it this week. You are clearly so much more into poetry, OMK, while I was always into prose until I joined this blog. What a gift to be here and experience all your art each day.
Speaking of which, I too enjoyed your funny Halloween poem with all those crazy costumes, CanadianEh!.
And, after your Wordle, I'll be hoping for a Chet and Lois story from you too, Wilbur. How do they celebrate Halloween?
