Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Today’s words led me to think of a substitute diplomatic editor on his 1st temporary assignment, serving until his unpreparedness was uncovered…)

“(Those Un)spoke(n) Columns

As envoy for a
spell, he served through an outage—
till he got unmasked.
~ OMK

Wonder where this word to hide
To keep it safe from prying eye?
Thread it thru
Where it's due:
One by two, three, four, five!

OwenKL- brilliant way to hide the Wordle!

(News) Of Smoke Looms

Stamp out ageism,
Unmask white privilege,
Spell out gender bias.
Not all rights
Are equally enjoyed.
I worry about the consequences.

OMK- my offering is pessimistic today (perhaps influenced by news headings). Your editor was not up to the task and was unmasked.

Ol' Man Keith said...

I wouldn't say you're pessimistic, CEh!. You're at least calling for reform.
I'm just describing an event, not taking sides.

"Grooms Volumes"

The envoy did his best not to annoy--
his job was to bring people joy.

During our recent outage
he went on stage
and told us it was our task
to start wearing a mask.

It turned out that what he spoke
was not a joke
and we survived the outage spell
and are again doing well.

Ol' Man Keith said...

Misty's envoy brings a note of optimism, as his advice points directly toward a happy result.
Wearing a mask = survival!
~ OMK

Thank you for the kind response to my verse, Ol' Man Keith. Your haiku once again just absolutely amazed me: it was all there, title play on the solution, and then all four J words in perfect order, one after the other in your brief, terse, always brilliant haiku. You are a master of this art, sir.

Your offering had strong feelings, CanadianEh!--glad you were able to post them.

Didn't quite get the Wordle in your verse, Owen, but still enjoyed it--many thanks.

One two three four five.
The first letter in line one,
second letter in line two,
and so on.
