letters fall in line / from puzzle to quiet verse / worku every day

20 September

Posted on September 22, 2026

This week’s theme: presence. Notice what is here, right now—a person, an object, a sensation, a creature, a moment.

words from wordle 1,919

Debbie Wilson 4/6
FALSE teeth – SPICE of life?
SHOVE soft food into my mouth
Had teeth that SHONE once…

Robo 4/6
SOUND of broken STONE
biting into a cold SCONE
As the bright sun SHONE

Diana Marie 4/6
STRAW fedora floats…
SHOCK to the captain and crew
A SHOVE while sun SHONE?

Lari 4/6
Radio FLYER!
I’ll get it CHEAP with a SHOVE.
His tears SHONE in sun

auntie jj 4/6
the CLAIM: she SPOKE French
in Nice, the wine STORE was huge!
her fluency SHONE

Mark 4/6
RAISE the roof, woot woot
The STONE SCONE SHONE out … first place!
Incisors be dammed

B-lu 5/6
ALIEN NEWTS SNORE
so loud the SCONE heard, fell flat
sun SHONE anyway!

Mick 4/6
Poem 1
heart blisters in FORGE
endure and ATONE the fault —
a soft CLONE has SHONE

Poem 2
FORGE ahead, ATONE!
CLONE a tooth, like the failed one
it SHONE then it broke!

what it is

  • worku is a daily practice where your wordle guesses become a haiku
  • use your guesses in the same order you played them
  • aim for imagery and flavor over perfect grammar
  • add a touch of nature, humor, or irony

“Worku is good for saying what you are thinking, which is why I have so many about cheese. Nice finding a place.” — Mark
