(Wordle word of the morning)

Double o vowels, a long, interesting sound

with the consonant ‘l’ as a flourishing finish

to drool is to savour perhaps, to desire

babies drool and we wipe their cute chins

an old man drools, and we see his decline

like spit when a friend spoke during Covid

sunlight lit their spit as it flew towards

you, sparkling, dangerous alive yet deathly

so that we dodged even while fascinated

that this flying drool existed, so vivid

illuminated, lively and terrifying hitherto

unnoticed and now possibly fatal

A poet should drool perhaps on each chosen

word, or wish to inspire a drool from a reader

the long double o sound with an l to land it

let’s drool
