Sunday Whirl with Wordle #140
attend clear echo
follow fly intact level
listen means pulverize shuttle spider split
To echo yet another prayer
Intent on a level of culture
To listen with the means of a
split-second strike
Reminiscent of a spider about
to pulverize its prey
an ingenuity to shuttle by or fly
intact with a slow movement
A clear strength
of character
Also Madonna and a soup of milk
Affections to attend to their young
A reflection of survival
A vicious spider or motherly instinct
will necessarily follow a similar
pattern to feed young mouths
