Limericks, haiku, rhymes, free verse — anything goes!
Play the Poetry Special Puzzle for inspiration, then craft a poem that uses at least 5 of these words (or 1, for poems <= 20 words) in the poem itself.
The Squaredle Squad will choose the top 5 entries to present to the community for voting. Community votes will decide the prizes from among the 5 finalists.
In the case of a tie, the Squaredle Squad will decide the winner.
