Twelve Days* of Wordle, a Sonnet
Bae, I’ll play my GREAT BLANK VODKA KAZOO
while you TOWEL off all that sweet GHOST FROST.
Don’t QUAIL – GRASP and TRACE the CRANE as you sit
in SHADE and WASTE my PASTE, TASTE my wicked
PLAID. QUOTE, OFTEN, TOWER BOXER COMET,
that failed lover who should have picked COVET!
TODAY, this handsome DRAKE will BRAID GRAND tales
ABOUT his WORSE ROVER, his RODEO
HORSE tireless in its QUEST to be your GUEST.
Dear, what is your IRATE TANGO ABOUT?
I TRUCK troth without lie’s TRACE, pen love’s TRACT.
My TRADE is RIDER, muff DIVER/DINER,
a QUIET TOTAL STRAY, STRAP-STRAW-sucking
love from the milkshake of your Wordle heart.

Yours is my first Wordle poem! I especially like “Dear, what is your IRATE TANGO ABOUT?”
Mike Wilson you never cease to amaze me. What a Great Trait to Chair up Towel off Write at day’s Break more than a Tanka or Haiku.
Hilarious, Mike! Some MadLibs energy here.
I also had a wordle poem
for today with kazoo in it.
Glad I chose something else
yours is so much better;
the sounds, the humor,
the humorous sounds
…all month long

I didn’t write that “the”?!
