EVAPORATED

For A Wordling Whirl of Sundays
This week's words: tugs, seaweed, released, breathes, slides,water, river, supersedes, evaporation, mist, tiny, embroidered


WISH YOU WERE HERE?

Evaporation, condensation
Tiny particles of vapour
Mist, to you and me

Dreams released; truth supersedes them
Picture slides back into focus
Face reality

Your embroidered imagination
River cruising, water splashing
Sun soaked summer leave

Our experience – tug boats, seaweed
Frost bite, seasick and an oil slick
As I live and breathe…!

    My favorite stanza is the send one, Stan. If there was only a way dreams could instead supersede truth!

    Great use of the words. Imagination vs. reality... Perspective? Love the voice in this piece, Stan. Well done.

    "Dreams released; truth supersedes them
    Picture slides back into focus
    Face reality', I really love that part Stan. Nicely wordled words.

    I love the Pink Floyd reference. Easily one of the 10 top bands ever. My favorite song of theirs is Echoes.

    I agree with whoever said it first, really like the voice you achieved in this one. Amazing what these wordles produce, all so different and unique.

    Love the irony in the questioning title! A beautiful, sharp contrast of the dream v. the reality!

    Stan, I got to the end and with "oil slick" it wasn't just dreams that were released. I like the contrast between the last two stanzas. And you snuck some rhyme in there too. Well done!
