For The Sunday Whirl: Wordle #52

Overheard
She said it was nothing
but tricks, this laying down
of words. A richer blend
of energy exchange: flicker
of flexible flames and fanciful
but forceful illusions.
A side glance that made daily
life more dramatic. Gave it fresh
sweet breath, creating a difference
that pushed against ordinary limits.
Made it satisfying.

Elizabeth, I am so happy that you wrote for The Whirl this week. I’ve been thinking about you, and missing your gentle spirit. Lovely alliteration, and the line with glance. Anything that pushes against ordinary limits is interesting, eh? I hope you come back next week!

I enjoyed this, Elizabeth. I do think that the lying down of words IS important; and I too very much like the second stanza. Glad to see you back wordling again.

I was so happy to see a poem of yours in my inbox, it didn’t even occur to me this was a wordle response, until I came on site to visit people. ‘Made it satisfying.’ Yes, indeed.

Elizabeth — so good to see you! 🙂
The alliteration in that first stanza added to the “fanciful illusion” of it all. 🙂

Elizabeth, I like the progression of this, moving towards conciseness. That second stanza really spoke to me. That daily fresh difference “that pushed against ordinary limits”.
It’s good to read your poems again.
