pulls nature’s edge
door rises day
spikes crunch nests
throw spirit escape
fall joy feeling years slept little
green pebble word oceans spell
fire spark wind
limped voice sweet
Pulls at his conscience it is nature’s way
To keep one on edge and not to submit
As the sun rises the door opens the day
With spikes of reasons not to admit
Arguments to rebut against all the slick
Escape from their crunch of mild arrogance
In a spirit of joy rather than fall to their tricks
Never ever throw in the towel to succumb
For years they slept easy minding their nests
Feeling little green no more but just a pebble
In the ocean with no words to spell nor to guess
But a spark of fire at the forefront enabled
Limped in sweet tenderness a lone voice
Holds the flag high in the wind in all insistence
One can only admire the dogged foolhardiness
Standing up against the barrage of connivance

Nature's weather never ceases to amaze me, well into last Autumn we had such hot and humid weather it was unbelievable, just a few months later we have the diverse cold, gale force winds and the heaviest of rain.
ReplyDeleteGreat verse with such imagination.

No matter what comes, standing up to it can be good, but sometimes you do have to know when to back down
ReplyDeleteSuch a visual treat, Kay! Loved this.

ReplyDeleteIt is the spark of fire that begins the change. Nice one, Hank!

ReplyDeleteFall down 7 times, stand up the 8th. Resilience defines our strength.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I like how you use the words from the wordle to weave such a rich poem.
ReplyDeleteA nice mosaic of words, weaved into an appropriate message; one never knows how tall their own shadow is until they get off their knees & stand up.
ReplyDeleteThere may come a time when the body can no longer stand up, but the spirit is still doing so,

"Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth", so said Gandhi. Sometimes, we pay dear prices for being the lone voice in the wilderness, and that comes to mind when I read your poem and see the courage of your characters in the words.
