ⓘ Today’s Featured ★ Worku – This one earns its quiet. No explanation, no moral, no flourish — just tension and release. The ticking clock sets the pressure, and then the skis cut cleanly through powder. SHRED here isn’t metaphor or outrage; it’s motion. Breath. Speed. It feels closest to haiku in spirit — image first, meaning implied. A reminder that sometimes the strongest poem is the one that leaves the most air around it.

Starr 3/6 ★
IRATE time clock ticks
PERKY skis over powder
Fast SHRED through the snow

Debbie Wilson 5/6
DREAM time left me BORED
Far from CURED and mostly TIRED
Need to SHRED today

Diana Marie 5/6
That BROAD TIRED me out
She CURED all my ERRED ways though
No SHRED of me left

Mark 4/6
Ante, RAISE the stakes
SNEER affect, turn the SCREW slow
Three Jacks! … SHRED cash

Lari 3/6
ADIEU mon ami!
As I SPEED into the sun,
SHRED your memorie

auntie jj 4/6
the BLADE of words GORED
MIRED in guilt, she CURED shame
“SHRED the docs,” she thought

BLADE of knife GORED pig
MIRED in blood, salt CURED flesh
SHRED pork, make sandos

Mick 4/6
CROUP ravaged, breath caught
a RIGHT HORDE jackboot strangle —
SHRED decorum … fight

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
