But at the turn it takes a stumble

3WW given words:
aloof temporary whole

A Prompt A Day - Mid-week Wordle #6
looking turn stumble never old  
faded hard pockets love river

PU's Mid-week Motif:
night

 Acting aloof is a temporary phenomenon
It is a nudge at the  whole facet of oneupmanship
One is looking good one moment
But at the turn it takes a stumble
It never varies

The old saying holds true
It has not faded
'Pride before a fall'
It is not hard to see

There are pockets of love though
A river of sincerity that flows
Night or day
Where humility reigns

For Vinay's hosting at A Prompt a Day

    Hank,

    A fine poem with many truths within it; sincerity and humility should both be evident night and day, as you have written.

    I hope that the waters of that river of sincerity touch most if not all of us one day, Hank. Also, thank you for the kind words in the comment about APED. I'm glad you're participating, and enjoying the variety there. :) Leo remembers Hank from the last meme as well.

    I've combined APED with 3WW too and a couple of other prompts as well.

    Lovely, Hank. Too bad politicians have no humility.

    Pride, love and humility sounds like a good combination. I love the beautiful buck. Tonight I saw a mama deer and two babies crossing the road. So sweet.

    pride ... fall
    love...humility

    Great lesson for the week Hank
