Jeff Kyser Poet Monoku

Wordle To the Wise Hlm

sharing your Wordle
a bit like foreplay - early
never after six!

A Wordle who was sure he knew best
Gave the answers right after he’d guessed.
Now he only shares clues
In the form of haikus
Or a monoku if time is pressed.

Failure at row six - the “all green” to stay in bed until tomorrow
