the 11 of 12 given words:
finery hidden gain reactive
puissant (powerful, mighty, potent)
feelings layers figment naughty imitation
gnossienne (n. a moment of awareness that someone you’ve known
for years still has a private and mysterious inner life)
Colorful finery formal attire
Nothing hidden everything to gain
Reactive to puissant feelings to aspire
To myriads of layers of fame
Without any figment of imagination
Nor naughty imitations of responsibility
There may be reflections of a gnossienne
Contending to exhibit the ability
Drawing on all of his experiences
Extending likes of a nobility
A host par excellence, preeminent
As expected of one with dignity

Always other things that many don't know, hidden from sight until they come to light.
ReplyDeletePeople are always so much more (than what they let everyone see).
ReplyDeleteSometimes we need to see beyond the exterior to truly appreciate people for what they really are..!
ReplyDeleteNice writing, Hank. The 'formal attire' and layers of knowing or not knowing someone is intriguing. Glad you joined in! Jilly

What is that curious attraction to fame that we ourselves cannot aspire to? Personally I have not wasted that much of my time doing so.
