Todayโs Jumble haikuโ
(Lice attack most feverishly in late summer and in January.
To gain relief, many children pray to Guardian Saint Roc [or Rocque], the patron protector against parasites.
You may read their orison below:)

โMay Rocqueโs unseen hand
abate hectic liceโand make
us all less lousy.โ

I should have birdied as my penultimate guess had the same letter THREE times which would've been a first
WC
Yes WC, I tried that same-three-letters word as my sixth guess, and I timed out. I eliminated vowels with my first guess, but was left with too many consonants for those two middle letters. Guess five was non-PC, but I was getting desperate.
Misty- follow WCโs clue and you will be fine (and . . .).
For some reason, my post is deleted if I combine Wordle result and comments!??
Candy is Dandy
Harvest time is hectic
As the crop is hauled to the barn;
Work continues unabated.
Machines have eliminated many of the lousy jobs,
But behind the scene,
Nobody is feeling their oats.
OwenKL- thanks for your offering today.
OMK-I feel itchy just reading your haiku! And again, a great title riff.
"Play Problems"
The play's story was so lousy the actors had to wait
for all the bad publicity to abate.
But the reporting remained pretty hectic
and the reviews were sadly still septic.
So after a week the play became unseen
and the press reports were no longer mean.
After this troublesome mauling
the producers a new staff did haul in,
and new writers began taking notes
to give this production better oats.
The new play did, thankfully, all problems address
and is now sure to become a big success.
(Sorry, Ol' Man Keith, you can tell that I know nothing about theater production. But I got on the topic and just couldn't stop).
Your poem, Misty, is an honest effort, and it describes a reasonable--though rare--way to "fix" an ailing play.
Throwing extra writers into the mix was more likely a process used by Hollywood producers in the "golden era" of movie-making. That's when producers like Irving Thalberg and Darryl Zanuck would hold previews, get audience reactions, and order re-writes from additional writers on their payrolls.
Stage plays would open shows "out-of-town" (away from Broadway & the critics), and work on them usually with the original writer.
But your stanzas make sense in theory. It just wasn't done that way in practice.

Well, as you know, OMK, my verses are always conditioned by my need to rhyme Jumble words and solutions, today: ABATE, LOUSY, HECTIC, UNSEEN, and HAULIN' OATS. But I know I also have to stay faithful to the theme--hence my apology today. And thank you for your interesting and informative response.
Delightful morning verse, Owen--I loved the way you rhymed "look" and "brook" with "crook." And it's great to see you on the blog this morning.
Loved the way you worked the Jumble words into your neat "harvest time" verse, CanadianEh!". And thank you for your helpful hint.
And forgot to say how much I appreciated your attack on those lice, OMK. I believe I once came back from summer camp, infected with some of the critters, and it was no fun going through the process of abating them.
Woohoo! Got the Wordle answer on my very first try! Woohoo! Many thanks for the hint, CanadianEh!.

Wilbur, please say "Hi!" to Chet and Lois for me today.
A nice sheave-reaping poem from you, CEh!.
I could almost smell the ripe grains in the autumn air.
I like how you embed some of the J-words, not giving them away nakedly but wrapping them in other forms or simply suggesting their sense.
~ OMK
Glad you got your W on your first try today, Misty.
But I do wonder, CEh!, if spelling out the actual W solution can qualify as a "hint"... ?
When I began my hinting game, I decided against it. But then, I suppose an argument could be made...
Your other embeddings certainly serve as fine clues.
