WORDLE #123

For Sunday Whirl

BLOWN AWAY


Wind from south is fierce enough
Keeps gusting as she cries out...
She'll train her bitter curses
On spring's untested filters
...And have our heads in pieces

  3. Where I live, the south wind is a warm wind, so this surprised me. I enjoy seeing how you construct your poem so economically each week!

  4. When I come here I always expect you to teach us a lesson in compactness, and you do!

  5. Hahah - Delicious succinctness and gave me an unexpected smile and vision of "Alice's" Queen crying "off with her head."

  12. Yes, in times that wind is harsh enough. And 'she' is mighty frightening... I love this very compact piece :-) This is the approach I usually take. This time I decided to use other words, as well. And now I read yours, I see, I didn't need to. Ah, well, I can never be satisfied with what I do (this could be some sort of 'La donna e mobile' thing, for all I care)

  13. Holy smokes, this wind could be Midwestern or metaphorical, but either way, it works. You packed a lot of Wordle into this one, Stan. You slammed this prompt, sent it spinning! Amy
