Daydreaming

For The Sunday Whirl: Wordle #165

Wish I could whistle up
a fortune that wasn’t split
between bad habits
and six foot deep pit
of drilled debt.

Must constantly remind
myself that this porcelain
existence, on edge of crumbling
cliff, still retains moments
of exquisite beauty.

Elizabeth Crawford  6/15/14

Notes: Not satisfied with this one. Didn’t use all of the words. It doesn’t feel finished even though I know it is. Know there is always next week, though.

    Wishes have rough edges and feel unfinished..maybe your poem reflects that..although to me it reads exquisitely..day dreaming is so important to help drag us through reality..we must always remember those beautiful bits..although cold hard cash would be good too..happy Sunday to you

    I want to whistle up a fortune with you! Your last stanza contains truth and poetry is nothing if not about truth. Well done.

    I’m with Cathy…it feels complete to me also. I know what you mean too, though. Sometimes things just won’t come together and it’s annoying.
