11 of 12 given words:
ice obstinate murky garble drama quite
surrender lighthouse bestow crumble spills
submerged in murky waters unperturbed
no way to communicate but garbled drama
am not quite rational in my thinking
to surrender to the pleadings
of the lighthouse-keeper
who is bent on entertaining visitors
to his abode recently bestowed with honor
and appreciation for having located
a vessel that crumbled on the rocks
I am now being asked to do spills and splits
in this glass cage in the absence
of other forms of entertainment
after all the visitors having braved
the elements coming this far

This was a nice lighthouse write, Hank. They always have held a priority place for me, I've visited several. At one time our Bolivar Peninsula Lighthouse about 60 miles south of Houston but closer to us and in our county, was open to the public. They needed a show such as yours for making it a bigger attraction. I believe it is closed to visitors now.
ReplyDeleteYes, my poor little fish was in a "Hell on earth for her." Pets are at the mercy of their owners.

Hank, I was wrong. Our lighthouse is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday at noons for 24 hours.

Theirs is a lonely life Dr Jim. Even with an 'open day' it would be asking for a lot to expect throngs of visitors but still they should be happy to see some interested beings!
DeleteHank
That should be good Dr Jim as more days are made available means more visitors are expected to come!
DeleteIt must be such a lonely life with no one to share feelings
ReplyDeleteJust the performance from day to day
Thanks for dropping by my blog Hank
Much💜love

Very sad to be held prisoner like that.
