20 Ways of Saying it!

What a laugh!
The edges of the lace
Having gone through the laundry
Is best described as ghostly ,
recoiled, remade, redundant, regrettable, ravaged, ruptured , rankled, rueful 
a razzmatazz, relapsed with remorse, remonstrating, reproach, replete with
a rejoinder, restricting robust use,
a ruse in rustic repulsion!

Whew! Let’s down a beer!
So, who’s the wise guy?


Submitted for d'Verse Meeting the Bar: Critique and Craft

  1. Aha,you've organized those random words into a manageable whole. Ghostly lace,I can imagine there's a whole lot of those in the chests in attics of old houses.
    Thanks for visiting my travel blog, Hank. Always great to have you leave a comment.

  9. Enjoyed it... reminds me of the time my youngest stuck crayons in his pocket and I ran them in the wash with my daughter's pink tights the night before her dance recital. Live and learn, right?
