Image: Left to Fend for Itself (here)11 of 12 given words:
mundane neat vent spine wrapper nudge
partial tentative backwards oppose smile
Left to myself in this mundane existence
It is neat, sure but how do I vent my frustrations
It is not spine-chilling nor spine-breaking
But it is a wrapper around my initiatives
Who to nudge to get some attention?
Even a partial response is enough
Even a tentative attention to start with
I can go backwards to create space
It is better as opposed to being neglected
I can still afford a smile though but for how long?

ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Attention can be a tricky thing, especially when you get it.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to be paid some attention.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what might say mundane existence better than the image you chose!
ReplyDeleteWe must attempt to break free any way we can.
Hank, you have created a real mind tip here. Bottom line: We can all escape the mundane.

crop some grass or dandelions - or at the very least, walk barefoot and dance heel to toe in them, wishing in the sun, or if needs be, stomp them wild and free -
and if all else fails? write poetry
great use of the mlmm wordle - and yes, this is my "blogger" equivalent of "scribbler's dipstick" commenting - so thanks for playing the wordle - and really, you've combined a great image with some really fantastic lines and have offered us a wonderful word play that is anything but "airy fairy fluffy" - even if it reads slightly lyrically.
Attention can be good or bad, but I think we all want and need to be recognized. A smile can go along way.
ReplyDeleteNudging often gets attention. I havent nudged for quite some while. When I did it was to my granddaughter. She was not appreciate.
