grip wave episode slight fend famous reference
stelliferous (having or abounding with stars.)
sedate (undisturbed by passion or excitement)
moribund (In a dying state; near death)
penny dreadful (a cheap, sensational novel)
in grips of surprises in a wave of conflict
an episode quite damaging to its well-being
set to a slight dampening of spirits but so tacit
buoyed by escapism which appeared trifling
but yet to fend for itself against all odds
imagined or otherwise but in a way famous
in a stelliferous stance as a defence of sorts
sedate in all manner of salvaging a status
aligned for success in a stupendous surge
of enthusiasm with a reference of honour
not moribund but so much alive to splurge
a strength beyond penny dreadful misnomer

Elizabeth's Creativity Challenge Day 8 - defence
I read it twice. First for the wonderful sound of it. Then for the sense it made. This is a beautiful piece of writing, and thanks for your continued support.

I love the "stelliferous stance"........and I feel like I'm in the middle of a penny dreadful with evil villain at the moment. I enjoyed this, Hank. Nice to see you at this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sherry those were my favorite bits as well!

When it comes down to life and death, there's always that last minute surge to survive. Well done with the words, Hank.
ReplyDeleteI hope we can work the world out of this penny dreadful... this dystopian pulp fiction has to come to a happy end.
ReplyDeleteWell done - congratulations
ReplyDeleteHere's to the surge
I had to read this all in one breath - I did it after a couple of tries - just for the sound of it. And then instead of pressing publish, I clicked on 'sign out' and lost my comment. So here it is again!
ReplyDeleteHow much the animal kingdowm is like the whole world.
ReplyDeleteWell done Hank on an excellent read and write.
Yvonne.
That want to survive will always compel one forward indeed.
