A Word's Worth

The Wordle

   

A WORD'S WORTH

(Using all the Wordle words)

The Wordle words seen up above

Have made me feel all lyrical.

Wordsworth and I strolled hand in hand

Where Nature creates a miracle.

Deep in the wood we heard the birds

Among phantom walls of greenery.

The brook was leaping for our delight

As we admired the scenery.

Never a dry and dusty book

Brought forth such adoration.

'My heart leaps up!' my friend declared

And continued his oration.

He sat on a rocky outcrop

And recited his famous words

Backed by the bubbling waters

And the singing of the birds.

He recited his  famous poems for hours

Sitting in that grassy hollow,

Although I was a mite impressed

It was a lot to swallow!

'Here's a new poem of mine'  I said

Knowing it was a winner.

That's when his words nearly broke my heart.....

'Not bad for a beginner''

STRATEGY

(Written from a former Wordle)

Smug, the spinning spider sits.

Watching, waiting with his wits.

In the sunshine, ruddy, mellow,

Looking such a harmless fellow.

Subliminal thoughts just flow and ebb

As he sits quite still in his web.

He is the living fulcrum of

The spider-web we've come to love.

Silence reigns. But a gullible fly

Has seen fit to flutter by!

Just a shudder, just a rustle.

The spider hardly moves a muscle.

Then suddenly, he breaks the hush

With a most untidy rush!

Soon he has fly-pie for dinner!

One's a loser, one's a winner!
