Treasure and Repeats
TORCH, flickering light in grotto’s cavern,
TROVE, dug for in such light,
WRACK, ship’s end it was that buried trove,
”SPOON” <— you’re hard on poems, take a break from Quordle!
Smoldering
TROVE of burning ruins fell to
TORCH and trebuchets that
SPOON incendiaries over the walls until a
WRACK remains.

War music
THRUM I in a kind of hum,
CHASE away the sounds of drum,
CROWD turns pale to hear the
CONCH which brings to surface all their fear.
Bathyclastic!
CONCH activated—yogurt cup hotline straight to Poseidon:
CHASE Kraken 11 and the purloined trident!
CROWD gathers at deep sonar in Woods Hole:
THRUM augurs bathyclastic tempest’s birth.
You’re Welcome
CONCH shell trail leads away from the
CROWD, toward the seas and the
THRUM of wind in the sails. The
CHASE for Maui has begun.

Tectonic
MAGMA shoves tectonic plates, and quakes
BLURT out of the earth like regretted words.
TREAT the resulting wounds on the
SCALE of natural disasters.
