FLN, Owen ~
Are you no longer at Las Palomas Ctr., Albuquerque?

An ugly phonym makes a word
sound rough, more crow than hummingbird.
While dulcet phonyms,
As in poems
Make lullabies we all have heard!
I'm still at Las Polomas Center . That's the one that left me in limbo. Scheduled to be here for about 2 weeks more.
Owen, a magnificent five lines. We have one true poet and the rest of us.
But we keep trying in our own humble ways

That is beautiful, Owen. Thank you.
This one is truly humble…
Today’s Jumble haiku:
(“Ditto-downing” [or “-dousing” if the field is wet] is when a team’s defensive unit compels the opposing offense to down the football multiple times, yet fails to force a true fumble, which might lead to a turnover, i.e., when the defense recovers the ball.
For a faltering defense, this is…)
“Downing with Strife”
The fumble-hungry
defense ditto-doused balls, but
forced no turnovers.

"Fire Fighters"
The fire broke out in the house,
the result of a fireplace fumble,
but they worked hard the flames to douse,
which quieted their mumble and grumble.
So now the owners are no longer hounded
with fear they would lose their hood.
Ditto, this relief makes them feel grounded,
and hungry to get some good food.
Lovely verse this morning, Owen, and wonderful to see you and hear from you. Thank you so much for checking in with us and giving us a delightful morning.
Dontcha just hate those fumbly fireplaces, Misty? That’s why we’re happy with our faux-log fake gas-fire!
In any event, it’s good to read they managed to douse the flames & kept the fire from ruining the nabe’.
That woulda put a damper on their holidays. But looks like they got things well under control and can look forward to maybe some brined roast turkey (& cranberry sauce) or honey-baked ham—or both!
With perhaps some sweet potatoes or potatoes au gratin. Green beans with bacon, maybe succotash…. Crescent rolls with plenty of butter.
Mmm,mM! Their successful fire-fight made me hungry, too!

Enjoyed your humble haiku this morning, Ol' Man Keith, and it made me fumble-hungry too.
I now wish I could have had some turnovers instead of that Kellog raisin-bran cereal I have every morning. But, hey, food is good whether it's good food or not.
Another coincidence, Misty!
I had Raisin-Bran myself this morning. It is prescribed for me by my doctor.
I will alternate between an English muffin, a Danish (which we used to call "snails"* when I was a kid), and the R-B.
When I have the cereal, I add one slice of toasted rye bread. With Smart Balance instead of butter.
Coffee and cranberry juice.

I see that my Wordle post was censored.
Hopefully this Ad will make the cut.
Frowned Ad
Jump off a cliff,
Fumble to deploy the parachute,
Douse a forest fire from the air.
Hungry for adventure?
Buy life insurance
And dee-dIt-to your wife.
CEh! ~ I suppose they do charge more to insure skydivers & smoke-eaters. And I imagine most would name wives as beneficiaries.
I’m afraid I don’t know how to translate “dee-dlt” in your last line. Did you mean “deed it”?
~ OMK
Adventurous verse this morning, CanadianEh!! Afraid I'm too earth-bound to ever think about jumping out of an airplane--but at least I don't need much life insurance since I've become too senior to be longing for adventure!
And congratulations on both of your Wordles his morning, Wilbur and CEh. I tried to use your hint Wilbur but just couldn't do anything to get it to work. So I finally gave up and looked up the answer--have never heard of the word and could not have guessed it no matter what. Wonder if that comes from not having learned English until I was 11 years old.
Your description of your breakfasts made me hungry, Ol' Man Keith, but glad we share the same cereal--good taste all around.
Re Wordle: I had no awareness of this as a word without its prefix . . . and WC had given me the Egyptian clue.
I don’t think it was your not learning English until age 11, Misty.
I’m not sure how WC got it in three guesses!
OMK- yes, the meaning is deed it, but you have to parse the whole phrase “dee-dit to” and find the J word. I was getting desperate to include that word. (Your ditto dousing is fantastically funny!)
My title is a terrible spoof on the first word of the J answer.
Owen- happy to see you back with your wonderful poetry
Misty- I smiled at the “fireplace fumble”, but thankfully disaster was averted. And anything that ends with food is always a good result!
