the 12 given Wordle words:
green rolls tongues never hide howls
smokes stare mean mysteries through mist
the given opposing forces words:
– whisper and shout
– humid and dry
green with envy it rolls unselfishly across his tongue
never to hide his contempt but with howls of laughter
he creates a smokescreen to allay fears unsprung
which invariably manifests itself in outright anger
a cold stare is often mistaken for quiet reprimand
it appears rather mean and menacing to the young
mysteries governing body language can be bland
seeing through the mist a bravado of the unsung
what then to voice a hidden whisper without a shout
with a semblance of tact to allow for loving care
sweaty on the outside but left dry in the throat
basking in love's options his initiatives laid bare

No matter how much one tries to hide things sometimes, they sure still shine through.
ReplyDeleteSomtimes it's hard to hide things. The message in your poem wasn't hidden though Hank.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
I agree with my fellow commenters: invariably, the true place that one is coming from, always reveals itself to the watchful eye.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderfully worded, Hank.
ReplyDelete"a cold stare is often mistaken for quiet reprimand": Oh, that happens so often.
ReplyDeleteA well-thought and crafted piece.
