Variable words

AUDIO, medium ferrying truth and saving knowledge,
LUCID words arriving, welling up to transform the arid self–yet medium also of
SLIME, or
MAGMA–not for redemption, but to trap a soul and burn joy to cinders.

Stonehenge

1.

DRUID standing stones form a
MODEL of the celestial spheres,
TERSE in their predictions,
UNFIT for more precision.

2.

TERSE words uttered by the
DRUID priest over the
MODEL of Stonehenge are
UNFIT to repeat by the uninitiated.

See more at Notes by Steven.

Not all of Gaul

MODEL Gallic village de la résistance,
DRUID gathering their independence with his sickle,
TERSE command: Drink up and whomp the Romans!
UNFIT are they to take our menhirs and way of life.

Stowaway

RATTY twists among the cargo,
TWICE twists and thrice turns,
CARGO free for such as Ratty;
TWISTs twixt holds, bows and sterns.

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!
