Enjoy the trip, Mauritius is well worth a visit. It has quite a history too but sadly, no Dodos!

Xclnt!👏👏👏👍😊

TUESDAY HAIKU

The day dawns brightly
But it flatters to deceive
False hope in winter

I was really slow today, slothful Monday vibes...

Sunday
Is a day of rest
Guilt free lie-ins,
Restore the zest.
In days of the week,
It's up there with the best.

One of those today,
I bumbled through
And found a way
But I'll take it anyway
Cos a win is a win
As I always say.

Over the banks and through towns
There is local pain

Late posting today,
Lots of things got in the way.
Still, I'd just like to say,
That a four is okay.

So true.

Woden's Day
Day four of the week
Hump Day
In online speak
We call it Wednesday
With a modern tweak
But woden't it be nice
And also quite chic
To honour a Norse god
And add a little mistique
If we spelled his name right
I think Wodensday
Is rather sleek.

You can make it through the week.
Whatever work you're doing,
Whether shop-girl
Or a geek.

A draft dodging orange man
Who lied his way to to top
Dares to insult
Real British men
Whose fighting was not photoshopped.
It really is ironic
That he spouts such ridiculous lies
When his courage is truly as small
As the thing that flops out of his flies.

There is one thing I hate
And one thing I think is great.
Can't have one without the other,
The evil twin, the beautiful brother.
I hate to decorate
But when it's finished
It looks great!

I wait for a rhyme to arrive
Not rhymin' Simon
More jingling James
It becomes easier
The less I strive
Like playing a natural game
I get there in the end
And sometimes I'm quite pleased
The words all tuck
in neatly
And my little poem is finished
Completely

Be careful what you wish for
A wise man once said
Except for peace of course
And an untroubled head
I'll take both of those
It's all I need
For peace of mind
Is a gift indeed.
Old men in power
You should take heed
Is there no end
To your rapacious greed?

A win is a win Janey.🙂

Today as another week begins
I look back at the week gone by
Not dwelling on my many sins
But with a critical eye
Now I step forward
And start again
With words on paper
Or rather on screen
Perhaps this week
Good results will be seen.

Have a good one

Much the same as you
A word I vaguely knew
It took some luck
To pull me through.

An odd word today
I thought I'd lost my way
But a guess on line four
Led to a winning score
It might only be a five
But it kept my
run alive.

Saturday morning,
Lying in bed
Filtering thoughts
That slip through my head
Decide to finish my Wordle
I got stuck last night
Funny how
When you look again
You somehow
Get it right...

Good luck fellow Wordlers
