hello again...haven't been by the wordle in a while, but remembered it was Sunday, so I stopped in to see. since the words were lifted from Sherman Alexie, who is one of my favorite writers, I figured it was a moment I should embrace.
the vibration increases in intensity
snared in that first instant
when the dust from the ride envelopes you in a cloud of haze
that has you
gasping
til you're blue
entering unbalanced and giddy
this blessed gathering
reminding me how we deserve our wings
just a short little nothing to dip my toes back in, get some momentum going. hope everyone out in wordle-land is fine and fabulous, and I look forward to reading your pieces!
Yes we do deserve our wings!

DeleteMy thought was a first camel or elephant ride. A fun use of the words.
ReplyDeleteMy short verse is here:

My story verse also continues. It is in Mr.Linky :)
Glad you are back. I don't always get to read everyone every week.
thanks Jules, I look forward to catching up with your story!

DeleteMama, thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting, much appreciated. I, too, had not done the Wordle for awhile, and I'm glad I gave it a shot, especially because Lex and I both love Alexie, too. That single phrase, "This blessed gathering," pleased me no end. I took a different tack, hope you like it. Great work! Amy

thank you, Amy! I look forward to reading what you came up with - your writing is always such a revelation...
DeleteThat exhilarated gasp was the key to this evocative piece of writing.
ReplyDeletenow that you mention it, it really is, isn't it? thanks for visiting!
DeleteOften, when I write, I feel that I have wings and secretly feel sorry for those who don't. That's what your poem brought to mind. Thank you,
ReplyDeleteElizabeth
thank you, Elizabeth!
DeleteBeautiful, with wings!
ReplyDeletethank you, Sara!
Deleteit reads so nicely, with rhythm,
ReplyDeleteforcing ebbs and flows,
breaths
such as:
entering unbalanced and giddy
and
reminding me how we deserve our wings
very nice.
Randy
thanks, Randy!
DeleteGlad to see you back! At first I was thinking a motorcycle ride, but really like the ending "how we deserve
ReplyDeleteour wings".
it was a ride, but the one I was thinking of was in a car. it was more the destination - a large 'family' gathering where the main event is an 'Om' circle for global peace. the best kind!
