Welcome to October! Harvest season! Time to reap what we’ve planted in our lives. Worku is a lovely garden from which to pull from your fertile mind, a fresh poem succulently structured, with ripe words delivered by today’s Wordle market, into a cornucopia of images from things spoiled. lapsed spirits, stoic bisons (LOVE THIS!), silly seals, dancing moons, and dead whales!

worku does buoy me / a life navigation point / a shining north star


words from wordle 1,565

Diana Marie 3/6
PARSE all things gathered
SPLIT off that which is needed
Leave the rest to SPOIL

Mick 3/6
a LAPSE has SPLIT me,
trying to SPOIL a Wednesday,
worku has saved me

Mark 4/6
RAISE up great BISON
STOIC, majestic, and free
don’t SPOIL this beauty

Hannah 6/6
STINKY SILLY SEALS
so SOILD in their small form
SLOWS for the SPOIL

Joe/Erik 3/6
PAINT the moon dancing
A floating sheen of LIPID
Doesn’t SPOIL the view

Mora 3/6
Whale MOUTH is open wide
Mushroom SPORE growing inside
moldy it SPOIL, it died

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

rules

  • play wordle → each guess word becomes part of your poem
  • write a haiku (5–7–5) using words in the same order you guessed them
  • add small filler words if needed, but the poem must make sense
  • bonus points for humor, irony, or nature imagery (for in-person play)
  • faceoff if tied, the last worku master sets a one-round showdown (for in-person play)
