A storm is brewing

Sunday Whirligig - the given words:
storm, alarming, speak, razor, gossip,
secret,bathe, sour, thirsty, think, poem,bronze 

A storm is brewing
Gets to be alarming

What can be the matter
To speak as sharp as a razor

To gossip yet in open secret
hiding under a cloak in shreds

To bathe in stark reality
Sour in mourning but thirsty

Just think
It stinks

Writing a poem is not easy
It is plain to see

Do not expect a gold in part
A bronze will do for a start

For MMT's hosting of Sunday Whirligig #11

  2. Go for the gold every time, even if a bronze comes due

  3. Ha. It is not gold every time, that is for sure.
    And I can live with that.

  5. If I know a storm is brewing especially thunder and lightening alarms bells ring in my ears.......hate them.

  6. Hi Hank, you wrote a palindrome for dverse, and now it disappeared. I am confused. I hope you will link it again. Meanwhile, as the link leads nowhere, I will delete the link. But I hope you will re-link it. You 'rocked' the prompt!!
