the 11 of 12 given words:
rare, taste, love, crude, rich habitat,
ripens, heat, seed, sea survive

a rare taste of love
somewhat crude in  a rich
habitat given to an environment
strange in its make-up

love ripens to reach a crescendo
high in its intensity 
a temperament befitting 
of young lovers in heat

the seeds of matrimony
once provoked in a sea 
of expectations will withstand
an onslaught of madness
pandemic or no pandemic

the will to survive 
and fight to be heard
is supreme in young hearts

  1. These are my favorite lines:
    "the seeds of matrimony
    once provoked in a sea
    of expectations will withstand
    an onslaught of madness
    pandemic or no pandemic"
