worku archive


The Worku Archive documents what happens when a handful of five-letter words are turned loose on a group of writers.

Collected here are the poems, players, dates, constraints, experiments, jokes, reflections, and occasional accidental masterpieces that have shaped Worku over time. Together they form a record of a shared creative practice — part game, part poetry project, part evolving community artifact.

Browse by year, date, or poet and see how the same daily constraints can send different minds in completely different directions.

Year One | 9 September 2025 – 8 September 2026 | 2,074 poems | 24 poets

Year Two | 9 September 2026 – current

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
