Sunday’s Whirligig 12 given words:

falls delicate grazing loneliness munching 
tufts wet twilight ripples gladly break wrist

3WW given words:

resolute fresh new 

Comes a time when a beast
of burden falls from grace

Delicate in its rebuff
Grazing in loneliness
Munching turfs wet with tears
Instead of watery padi fields

Twilight industry that mellowed
Overtaken by developments
in housing, plantations and golf courses

Ripples until now but unashamedly
with a resolute at a much faster pace

Housing developers, entrepreneurs
and governments gladly break
away with fresh new ideas of modernization

Just a knock on the wrist
But a cultural shock on farmers
bent on tilling their lands
to maintain a dying industry
to feed hungry mouths

That's progress
Like it or not!
