Forgive, shoulder, topples, shallows, bolt, broken, gathered, dancing, drop, burst, causes, feet, hoops.
My thoughts of you like shadow-hoops
Skim o’er the dancing shallows
I feel you warm against my mind
And cold against my shoulder
I gathered once, so tenderly
Your words easily spoken
Dreams topple in futility
As hearts lay sadly broken
To forgive you is easy, love
Forgetting seems unending
I cannot drop like work-worn gloves
The causes I’m defending
The door to you I cannot bolt
Or seal with firm endeavor
My feet may seek unbroken roads
My heart is yours forever

Beautifully wordled, Janet.
ReplyDeleteThank-you Mary
ReplyDeleteWOW! Beautiful poem about love. I think they're really hard to write without sounding syrupy. You've done an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteMarianne, Thank-you for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteAnd they call me a romantic. You out wordled the wordle, turning it into something special.
ReplyDeleteThank-you Mike, I just wrote another depicting a bit of frustration over my lack of ability at being able to capture the full essence of a word!
ReplyDeleteWonderful illustration of the conflict we all undergo with loved ones from time to time. When the conflict is ongoing, the forgiving and forgetting is so much more difficult.
ReplyDeleteThank-you Traci, for your words of understanding.
ReplyDeleteThe first stanza grabbed me, Janet. I love the tension between warm mind/cold shoulder. The end rhymes and near end ryhmes work well in this piece, none are akward or forced. Excellent wordle contribution!
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda,
