This week’s Big Tent prompt was the above Wordle, and also these three phrases: “Say more,” “There is also the matter of ____” and “He started by _____.”
I love Wordles, but a lot of poets dislike forcing the words into a cohesive poem: the goal is to use all the words in the Wordle. It’s okay if you can’t: the goal is also to get writers writing. I haven’t used any. This came out instead.
On Wordles
For Viv, who hates them
There is also the matter of Wordles:
those linguistic, logistical hurdles.
Use all the words if you daredle
but watch the poetic cream curdle.
Thanks for the vote of confidence…
Did you read mine yet? Not a poem, but I did use all the words and phrases! Yah boo, sucks to you…
But I do love your poem: the wordlecurdledurdle theme had me in stitches.

You put a twist on the twist. Jolly well done.

Fun take! I liked the twist that you did this for Viv, but really like Wordles yourself. I enjoy Wordles, and find they often inspire me to write small narratives rather than traditional poems. I loved what both you and Viv did.
