11 of 12 given words:
mourn chipped soap mark draw work mail catalog  
threadbare (poor or shabby in appearance)
mend broken 

to mourn a failed encounter
chipped at the edges 
will need more 
than just soap and water

it will be off the mark
to draw an inspiration
from those who enjoy blissfully
a relationship that works 

a mail-order bride from 
a catalog of pretty faces
may not be revealing
the threadbare concoction
to mend a broken soul

  1. I’m impressed with how you take words that would appear to have no connection and turn them into poems!

  5. To find someone is for real a true challenge... not easy for the brides either with just a pretty face as an asset.
