About

Hello! My name is Hannah Going.

Since May 1st 2024 I have been using Wordle as a prompt to write daily poems and have been posting them on my Instagram stories. The number of attempts it takes me to solve the Wordle (or fail to solve it) corresponds to the number of lines I get for each poem. I post them on Instagram a day late so I don’t spoil Wordle for anyone.

Inevitably some of the poems are better than others. My lack of control over the theme lowers the stakes in that respect. The point is and was practice over perfection.

Having built up a collection of these (200 at the point of writing this) I wanted to put them somewhere other than Instagram (though I intend to carry on there too). I also write other poems occasionally and haven’t previously had anywhere to put them and so here we are.
