It’s a visual representation of word frequency in a block of text—the larger the font, the more frequent the use.
It is certainly an interesting and clear way to see themes...God, mind, quiet, thoughts, images, glorious (twice!)... but I love even more the "throw it in the pot and stir" spill of language that allows words to settle into new places and create even more. I am rather fond of frequently well-thumbed as well as wonder loving. Glorious pairing-quiet God is one of my favorites. And there are even short poems all on their own...Open sat vastness/blooming God's glorious images. Or perhaps a new invitation...Write revelation moon.
This Wordle excersise makes me realize in a new way the generative life within well selected words. As a writer, I put them together in a certain way to create certain images or convey particular ideas. But clearly, tossed together in a different way, those same words have much more to say, reveal.
Frankly, I think that's cool.

Lovely. And how like a poet to see short poems where I see prose!
Hope you enjoy this new toy - it's fun as well as revealing, instructive and enriching
Beautiful! I love the way you have introduced this Wordle. You are right, they really are revealing. I like 'a new vastness' and 'God's glorious love', both of which jump out at me here. xx
