  • MATTE

    So long, farewell

    A PINCH of levity
    A smidgen of gravity
    We write, we REVEL in
    our creativity, our playfulness
    A few simple rules:
    all caps for easy spotting,
    don’t FUDGE the words,
    and keep them in order
    AWAKE, fresh and eager,
    each day to play again
    We hope we have given you
    a TASTE for wordplay, and
    that you have enjoyed
    our many and varied offerings
    We will continue in private,
    though maybe mount one or two,
    on simple MATTE paper
    to hang on the wall
    “WordleWrites” it will say
    “microfiction, poems, & proverbs”
    In gratitude and joy

    Two years of posting
    comes to a close.
    No more fretting
    about line breaks
    distorted form to form.
    Late night posting –
    our shared responsibility.
    Back to origin, play
    continues in daily texts.
    Site was not a WASTE.
    Brave, bold. Layered.
    Now an archive to explore.
    Perhaps print someday.
    Elegant MATTE paper
    a new container to open.

    Creativity like dandelion
    blowballs held to pursed lips.
    Breath dispersing
    pappus and cypsela,
    otherwise known
    as fluff and seed.
    Carried away on the wind.
    Us standing hand in hand.

    Thank you, friend.

    Heather
