WORDLE WORLDE

For A Wordling World of Sundays

This weeks words are: Aching, train, scribbling, thirst, resilient, sustain, revenge, visions, thrumming, animated, hillsides, whispered


BLACK SHEEP REPRISE

Resilient enough to sustain the pressure
Without upsetting your train of thought
You whispered calmly your good intentions
All the while, aching with thirst for revenge

Meanwhile, my head thrumming, I was having visions
Of you scribbling animated scenes
Of hillsides draped in death and destruction
... Like the ones you sketched when you were younger...

    Concise, and yes, a wee bit dark, Stan. Think I've known a few like that, unfortunately.

    Desiring revenge changes people. That last stanza personalizes the piece for readers. It made a picture of someone I once knew rise in my head (shudder). Glad you're on board.

    Stan, glad to see you here. And really like the concise and edgy story you created with the words. Last line holds memories for me as well,

    "thirst for revenge" found its way into my wordle, as well...

    Liked your use of all the words. Good job!

    Ha - I like those "animated scenes
    Of hillsides draped in death and destruction" - I could have painted them, too. I used to be very often into revenge :-)

    Stan, concise and powerful. This reminded me of a former student or two, who drew pictures as you describe in the second stanza. We hope for resilience and better intentions.

    There's so much this doesn't tell us that the possibilities are endless - my sort of poem (one of them!).

    This one is frightening. Revenge, I think, is rarely sweet. Powerful poem.
