11 of 12 given Wordle words:
crack, glimpse loom creep curl 
light, grip, whirl spin wonder lord

at the crack of dawn glimpse
of home loomed ahead
emerging through the branches

as a descendant of a wild predator
they looked askance at all the furore
of a journey by a river boat
with intent to capture their hearts
born at the zoo they were adorable
they just creep slowly to his feet
to curl in a light grip of his warm hands
their thoughts seem numbed in idleness

but they still advanced forward 
often whirled in a spin to wonder 
how the good Lord had favoured them

but a sudden gust of wind 
with force rocked the boat 
it tweaked  their focus and off they jumped
even though there was fondness for him
to be free in the wilderness 
was a better alternative

how he gnashed  his teeth with fury
how silly to have left them untied
was there a reason to curse and rant
for forgetfulness endured
was a grim lesson

  1. A grim lesson indeed. They look adorable but I prefer animals in the wild. Thanks for linking up Hank!
