Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(Music is funny. The different instruments at different times can sound sweet or rough, and one instrument [or orchestral section] can โcommentโ on another, sometimes ironically.
Todayโs melody offers an example with itsโฆ)
โWry Notesโ
The viola hums
smoothly, as harsh reeds vanish
from purged memory.
~ OMK
Violins on the stage begin to tune up.
In the chamber, seating starts filling up.
Overhead, in clamps
Lights ignite in lamps,
And soon the audience will be lifted up!

Orijinz:
Is there any doubt that on this day
Tea Party lunatics are holding sway?
Congress hasn't seen such fringe
Since Davy Crockett walked in
In his deerskin outfit cut that way!
"Editorial Problems"
The editor was harsh
and did articles often purge.
This made the writers upset,
and they decided to merge.
They asked the company
the editor to banish,
and within a month,
he was fired and did vanish.
The new editor found
their writing smooth,
and this did their spirits
greatly soothe.
They now visualize new scopes
and, as writers, have high hopes.
Very clever, Misty!
I believe this is the first time you have used an ABCB rhyme scheme. It gives you freedom (rhyming only the 2nd & 4th lines) and the variety that comes with loose quatrains followed by a tight closing couplet.
Just as your writers see greater opportunities with a new editor, your own talents can stretch further!
Brava!

PS. Todayโs W number is 3. But you knew that!
Woohoo! Once again I got it, Ol Man Keith--but thanks to your haiku rather than your clue.

Still, many many thanks. I could never, ever get these without your help!
Owen, your delightful verse makes me want to go to a concert and hear the lovely music. Would love to hear those violins, and also OMK's viola.
We miss you, CanadianEh!. Hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend with family.
Ol' Man Keith, I forgot to thank you for your incredibly kind comment about my verse today. I can't remember anyone ever commenting on the structure of one of my poems (unless you've probably already done so in the past). But your comment today makes me feel wonderful, and makes me realize I should start paying a lot more attention to my poetic structure. On this blog I'm totally preoccupied with how to fit the Jumble words and solution into a verse, and it's the story plot, not the poetic elements, that have all my attention. But, as I say, I'll start keeping your comments in mind from now on. Thank you, thank you, again.
You are more than welcome, Misty!
You know we old professors love it when a comment of ours hits home, when a recipient finds it of value and feels all the stronger for it!
And I am happy to know my haiku bore W-fruit. Of course, my clue & haiku were one and the same.
In future, I wonโt bother counting off the number of 5-letter words for you.
Just know, I will attempt to post the Wordle as one of the poemโs 5-letter words. If you only see one, that will be it!
