What a perfect time to share your great Earthrise Scrabblegram!

I actually made one about the first Artemis launch, and I believe this is when I learned that you were a fan of Peanuts and Snoopy. πŸ˜€πŸš€πŸŒ”πŸ₯œπŸ₯œ

Behold! @lowdowncryptic.bsky.social has outdone himself with another fantastic Scrabblegram (which includes a "reverse transcription" piece of DNA inside). πŸ§¬πŸ†

Is "and revolutionized" a cryptic clue for DNA?

Thanks, Lowdown. Love your DNA sequel 'gram!

My wife's dad was a geneticist, and their cats' names over the years have included Watson, Crick, and Franklin. :)

Wow, this one is outstanding. Such a smooth and well-constructed Scrabblegram! Great theme too, worthy of its own entry. πŸ§¬πŸ‘πŸ§¬πŸ‘πŸ§¬πŸ‘

Thanks so much, Lowdown! Wishing you a widespread-chaotic "pray when" too. πŸ˜‰ (I've missed your letterbank magnificence)

Big thanks to both Steve Geller (my long-time wordplay editor and friend) and Steven Fraser (my palindromist hero / friend) for their very helpful input over the past week.

Critical feedback is welcomed, as I'm still open to tweaking this (before submitting it for "SymmyS" consideration).

Reflective Rose - inspired by The Little Prince

I'm a rose, yes, or am I?

Rosy-awed, I smiled at, I craftily admired lost lovers.
Sent I was, a pure veneer,
Felt sacred – now red, now redder still...

A flare! Tall autumn robe regalia.
Fireworks! I rail, I toss, I tier.
It is all a field arcadian, a dopamine dragon’s eye.

Cindery burn-ups – warming is Eden.
If a fox I made with gilded light,
I wed a mix of a fine design.

I’m raw-spun, ruby-red nice. Yes?
No garden – I’m a pod, an aid, a cradle.
I fall as I tire. It is so.

β€˜Til I, a risk-rower, I fail – age reborn.
Mutual lateral fall, it's redder,
"Wonder! Wonder! Castle-free!"

Never up as a witness revolts.
Older, I'm daylit.
Far citadel, I'm sideways…

Or I'm a rose. Yes, or am I?

REFLECTIVE ROSE (a palindrome)🌹

Hello, wordplay friends! I miss you all, hope everyone is well.

I'm still mostly off of social media, but wordplay is meant to be shared. Here is a new palindrome (a revision / expansion of one I toyed with a couple of years ago).

Enjoy. 😊

Outstanding yet again, Lowdown. Very well done.

This is amazing timing. I was very much thinking of you last night with nostalgic fondness (and by that I mean all four of you), with a specific nod to Nat - either tomorrow or the next day I'm planning to post floral-themed wordplay (not a Scrabblegram).

Hope all of you are well!!!

A classic! Just seeing this now, as we were off the grid in Alaska when you posted it...ended up in your country for the first time and thought of you (even though it was Vancouver rather than Toronto). ☺️🍁

Hope you've been well, Lowdown.
