The Sunday Whirl, http://sundaywhirl.wordpress.com/, offered a baker’s dozen for wordle 18. They are:
desperation, slouch, screw, light, ash, wasted, cracked,
revolution, cleansed, cheap, stranger, spin, granite
This is my first desperate attempt at a wordle…because I think it these are great worda
.
.
.
In desperation
the woman wasted on cheap
wine, slouched in the door way
of the cracked granite building
that housed the six strangers
of the revolution
that met under the ash tree.
.
She cleansed
the dirt off the light bulb,
so she could see,
spinning in her mind
what they might be doing
screwing a post into the
ground.

Have You Seen…
.
Have you seen
my “Helen Keller” paintings?
They are called that because
back in the day you could
tell without seeing,
by touch,
what the painting is.
.
These days,
my paintings are more
subtle,
but still
rough and bumpy,
palette knives and fingers,
forming visions of
waves, froth, mountains,
rocks and sand.
.
Sometimes a surface
gives paint
a mind of its own,
rough or bumpy,
scratchy or
slick as satin.
.
Come see my paintings
where brush strokes
and knife marks rule.
On rough canvas,
wood
or slick, slippery plastic.
.
Enjoy the feel of a
painting,
sometimes it’s a mood,
touching the heart
or soul;
sometimes a touch,
the artist made strokes
creating images
and feelings
only you know where
they come from.
Feelings.

If I die young…
it will be in another life time now..
When I was young,
a young wife,
a young mother,
then not so young mother,
it was on my mind.
Often.
.
There were times
There were times
the diagnosis
wasn’t kind,
and, being a nurse,
I’d head for the diagnosis
and nursing books…
long before the internet.
.
“What would my children do”?
Who would take care of them
and make sure they grew
to a fine woman
and successfull man ?
I had plans for them.
.
I’ve watched them grow
to adulthood,
and now middle age…
themselves parents.
.
So, young readers,
we never know what the fates
have in store for us…
we all worried
as you will, too.
.
More mature readers
will tell you,
they had similar worries,
scares, and close experiences
that made them wonder,
what will happen to those I love,
If I die young…..

who couldn’t keep MUTE.
GASP !
