ON THE TWELTH DAY

For Sunday Whirl: Clarity, Practice, Listen, Breath, Giddy, Step, Bitter, Venture, Tumult, Fire, Within, Awake

ROUGH TRADE


Vocal clarity, standard practice
What you preach is pitcher perfect
They listen to your every breath
Getting giddy at each step
Ever better, never bitter
Venture forth, create a tumult
Light a fire within their hearts
Awake a passion... Sell it hard!

    And what intoxicating liquor is in that pitcher?

    I like the economy of your use of the wordle words.

    Thanks Annell; They say 'life's a pitch' so I guess it applies to everyone...

    The complete package. "Sell it hard." Ties it all up nicely.

    Sounds a bit like a manager, giving a pep talk. Your brief lines, and repetitive sound also give it the feeling of marching orders. Good one Stan,

    Stan, I believe it is called charisma. Nicely paced as the others have said. Hope all is well with you.

    Tough love? Sometimes working at getting the 'sale' is rewarded when the spark is lit to create action. Good teachers do that for their students.

    Thanks for your visit.
