10 of 12 given Wordle Words:
grief bruises lifted depths murmurings 
wants edge field skin crevice 

Good grief!
space no bruises to the ego 
but one needs space 

to muster efforts and gumption
and to be lifted out
from depths of the jar

murmurings of wants 
putting one on edge 
thinking of the field of vision 
off the skin limiting the freedom 

absence of crevices to sneak out
put paid to the initiative 

but there is a need to react positively 
no matter what!

    1. Same here Sherry. Keeping pace just as much though knowing we are among friends. It has been so for all the years. That keeps one going. Thanks Ma'am!

  4. No kidding. That's what this image reminded me of --- it's a metaphor for any kind of entrapment. To cope, you would certainly have to reform your thinking, convincing yourself of a positive outcome and some benefit. The mind is a powerful thing.

  5. The needs are insistent, but the positivity seems the answer to them all. Love how the tone of the poem complements the photo so nicely.

  6. Space to breathe, i feel for her someone set her free, before her light extinguishes.

    How are you my dear friend?.

  9. From Helen ~~ enjoyed this, Hank! Reminds me of an old song from my youth … ‘Don’t Fence Me In’ my sisters and I loved to sing.

  11. I love the opening paragraph, it is indeed a riddle in that she needs space and yet where she is she has no space. Great thought-provoking poem, Hank :-)

  12. The "no crevices to slip out of" gave me instant claustrophobia.
