Todayโs Jumble haiku:
โMake Moos (into Ewes;
Hares to Rabbits!)โ
As the deluge dries,
mounds of prunes shrunk to raisin
size. Hah! No surprise!

I really mustnโt be a liar.
They have voices I truly admire,
the sopranos & tenors who lead in our โ โฆ.. . โ
~ OMK
They're the ones to preach to,
Oft aloft, a seraphic crew.
Song sheets by the quire
Of hymns to inspire!
Yet they're of the congregation, too.

A very lucky guess!
OMK- you were doing your tasks before you got to the W music?
Iโm a mezzo-soprano.
Owen- I love all your interpretations of the W. And the homophone is superb!
Great clues. Go for it Misty.
Dank Dew
Sister Sarah hurried to choir practice,
Through wind and rain which she hated.
Not wanting to join the Baptists,
As the deluge continued unabated,
She threw her habit over a cactus.
In the morn it was found,
Still soaking wet, now shrunk,
Rolled up in a mound,
Pillowing a skunk.
Misty, "Not wanting to join the Baptists," I love it!
"Recovery"
The family suffered a deluge
and the damage to their house was huge.
They first took refuge on a mound
but soon had to return to the ground.
Their income will surely have shrunk
and the family's spirits sunk.
But they had always made it a habit
to take any opportunity and grab it.
Their insurance gave them a break
and repairs they were able to make.
Soon they paid all the fees that were due,
and returned home happy, and no longer blue.
CanadianEh! ~I think we had an unusually tough time today, laboring with rhymes, homophones, and tricky tales that tried to find thematic glue. โShrunkโ was the keystoneโleading you to evade undesired baptism and me to change larger species for smaller (animal & vegetable).
Yours was the more interesting. I got stuck using synecdoche in my title, but then switching to the literal. Argh.
Misty ~ You avoided the SHRUNKen problem by demoting its significance. The familyโs income was all that was affected. Smart move!
Another key word that led us in different directions was most troubling & had the least weight for me. I couldnโt even fit it in my poem, but used its rhyme (rabbit) as part of a sub-title. You imagined it as an opportunistic trait and rhymed it with โgrab itโ! For CEh, it was Catholic garb, ending up comforting a polecat!!
Will wonders never ceaseโฆ?

Owen ~ That Baptists line is by CEh!
OMK- yes, I agree that the combination of words we were given today almost created writerโs block. Often that leads me to something silly (often exacerbated by the rhyming words like shrunk and skunk). But I am always amazed at how we all start with the same words but often go in very different directions. This variety and creativity must be helpful to continued brain health (I hope!).
Owen- yes, I am the creator of that Baptist line. I was looking for something that rhymed with practice, and that took my fancy. Cactus worked too - and hopefully brings a smile. Maybe I was subconsciously thinking of Lucina and her descriptions of her area.
what a lovely upbeat poem that has a deluge disaster turning into a happy ending for the family. Thank goodness for insurance. But with all the flooding and wildfires recently, insurance rates will be skyrocketing. Or some disasters will not be covered - read the fine print.
Sorry to make so many little posts, but the bot censor kept deleting me, and I had to experiment to see what was causing the problem. Guess what. The comment above is for Misty and I had her name at the start as is my usual custom. Who know what triggers the bot.
Sorry, CEh!. I didn't read your message earlier--about drawing the Bot's attention again. I might have intervened, but now I'm pressed for time and will take a pass.
I am sorry, though, especially as the damnable censor seems to have singled you out for its deluxe treatment.

No problem OMK. I reposted in sections.
