words from wordle 1,921

DIana Marie
Poem 1
Adrenaline SPIKE
Creak in wind… snap of twig… howl…
Add log! STOKE campfire…

Poem 2
“Did Bob SPIKE the punch?”
“I saw Sales STOKE Admin’s fire!”
Corporate Affair

Linked Worku
Dark and desolate
Sharp hairpin turns and steep drop
Hard left — SPIKE in road…

Passenger door stuck
Climb through window into night
STOKE makeshift fire… Wait…

Debbie Wilson 5/6
STAGE myself at STOVE
STONE cold stares – missed stop at STORE
STOKE the fire in vain

Robo 4/6
Her voice SOUND crackled
As she SPOKE through the thick SMOKE
And STOKE her anger

Mark 3/6
STARE into the angst
The STONE age comes in focus
STOKE the fire …. then … boom

auntie jj 5/6
START badly, ouch STING
mind’s thick as STUMP. slow, take STOCK
STOKE inner calm. win!!!

Lari 6/6
PLAID kilt hangs on BOUGH.
Weird place to STORE it, but STOVE
needs hot STONE and STOKE.

B-lu 4/6
SINCE skiing that SLOPE
I no longer take a SMOKE
gum is what I STOKE

Mick 4/6
CURSE and SPITE the STONE
that wrought such an evil man —
STOKE the resistance ✊🏼

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
