Today’s Jumble haiku:
“Towns Ripped (into approx. ethnic groupings)”
Turkey’s divided
into Anatolia and
Thrace. Honor the graph!

Whoops! Here’s the graph to go with to poem above.

I can be devil-may-care, wearing merely a thong,
skipping down life’s path, singing my song.
I may not be right, but I needn’t be …..

FLN, Misty & CEh! ~ I believe SAD patients are affected at different times of the year. For me, spring is often the worst. We have high hopes for spring sunshine, and yet we are often disappointed when we end up with June Gloom. Frustrated expectations can add a psychological factor to our misery.

As for the link to the “graph” above, it is a colorful map of Turkey and well worth viewing. Just hold a finger on the code until you see an option to copy the link.
It’s well worth the time. Honor the graph!

This just can't be right!
Only what's left is in sight!
Words ring out,
Nuts gadabout,
And two of them can't make a Rite!

I very nearly did a hat trick! I had two choices lined up for #2, but picked the wrong one first!
Your birdie beat me, Owen.
As you can see, I picked the wrong one too, for my #3, but mine was a different wrong.
You missed the first & last, maybe a “p”& “t”—or a “b” & “e”?
I missed the center; there’s no mistaking my “I.”

Our remnant of British influence in spelling, metric measure, word usage, pronunciation can create a surprising dissonance when a Canadian ventures across the border.
Pound (or Kilogram) Tip
Why does the spelling always seem wrong
(like omitting the U in Honour)?
We should be able to get along,
And not our differences prolong.
Can I create a better key to portray,
(Whether north or south of the border)?
Or graph the infinite number of ways
That divide Canadian and American custom today?
Re Wordle- they definitely are shaking things up (perhaps to throw off people who are using the recommended Bot starters). I used the same starter as yesterday on a whim, and again it did not steer me _____.
OMK- what a wonderful haiku, and the research behind it. I did look at the graph. Hopefully those ethnic divisions do not lead to prejudice or strife. (I disguised the T word rather than try to use the country or the fowl in my offering.
"Hip Trip"
The passengers agreed to divide
the payment they owed their guide.
They had loved their exciting round trip,
and while in Turkey sailed on a ship.
The guide shared the honor with his staff
and they all posed for a photograph.
The experience had been a pleasure
that everyone on the journey did treasure.
Misty- lovely poem about an exciting trip. A good guide can make or break an excursion, and is easily worth the payment. Memories have been made. I loved how you worked “graph” into “photograph”.
Ol' Man Keith, you worked some complex geography into your haiku this morning. I checked the map but it doesn't look like Turkey's divided any more.
And your Wordle clue was perfect: helped me to get it on my first try. Many thanks!

Owen, sorry it took three tries to get your Wordle. But you verse is a clever delight! Thanks for that.
CanadianEh!, what an interesting verse dealing with the differences that British influence make on Canadian and American spelling--something that never occurred to me. I will always think of Honor/Honour in two different ways from now on.
And thank you for your very kind and generous response to my verse. I'm always so completely controlled by the Jumble words and solution that I often wonder if my productions make sense. So your comment this morning was a special gift--thank you for that too.
Thank you, CanadianEh!
—For taking the time to open that map/graph, and for your kind appreciation of the haiku.
—And for your poem on the old world vs. new world spelling. I got an indoctrination in the subject in my first year of grad studies in Jolly Olde Anglo-Land way back in 1961. Most professors tolerated my lack of the “U,” but I had one tutor who loved to scrawl “Misspelt!” In red ink over my papers!
Grr.
For my part—as a professor myself—when I occasionally came across a Brit student, or Canadian, I thought they were just stuck in the past, being “old-fashioned,” as it were.
Shaw wanted to reform the alphabet for all of us (as did Mark Twain, I believe). We should have listened to him(/them)!
Misty ~ Thank you, too, for your geographical comment on my small verse. Glad I could help to keep you from straying from your Wordle streak…
Interesting that neither of us used the J-word Turkey to write about the bird! Your poem’s passengers enjoyed their “round trip”—
and probably wouldn’t have had such a great time circumnavigating the fowl, even a barnyard full of ‘em.

My stepson is getting to knowTurkey well. He has found a lucrative business enterprise dubbing and subtitling B-grade action videos for Turkish audiences. This gets him invited to comi-con festivities & panel discussions of cultural signifiers.
All beyond me!*
Turkey is the only nation (I believe) which is split between Europe and Asia. The European part is called Thrace and the Asian is Anatolia.

* When I scanned this before posting, I saw that Google’s spellcheck had changed this to “All behind me!”
Sheesh.
Neat story about your stepson, Ol' Man Keith, hope he continues to enjoy his work in Turkey.
