view by Teri H Hoover
eyes closed
squander the view
on the edge of the sea
green pewter waves, crash over a beating heart.
flocks of intractable thoughts,
flow, tangle and tether.
a lane without love
shifting sand, cool, salt water.
opening eyes and heart-
a small alley
and an ocean of love. The words: Thank-you Brenda for sharing Mariann's words from *elle ecrit*
alley, sea, eyes,squander, accommodate, flocks, green,follow, pewter, beating, intractable
I love the green pewter waves. A moving poem that I shall read again.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, we certainly took the words in a similar direction! I always write my own Wordle before I read others', and I find it SO interesting when people write similar images... It is just as interesting as all the variation we sometimes find with our fellow writers. Well done! ;-) You used a few words I was't able to incorporate.
ReplyDeleteNan-Most times I finish writing before I look at what others have written. My brain becomes a muddled mess, if I read first. Hmmm but it could be I am easily distracted. It was nice to head down to the seaside for this wordle- thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI can feel the speaker's emotions, Teri. For me, that is the hardest part of writing, the speaker's tone. Those wretched 'intractable thoughts'. I am plagued. Must open my eyes more.
ReplyDelete...green pewter waves crash over a beating heart... lovely, Teri
ReplyDeleteGorgeous writing, Teri! "Green pewter waves, crash over a beating heart" and "intractable thoughts, flow, tangle and tether" are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteMarianne- Thanks for stopping by with your comments. And thank you for this weeks words. xo teri
DeleteI love flow, tangle, and tether. Your poetry is visual, and speaks on a soul level. Excellent write, Teri.
ReplyDelete"intractable thoughts,
ReplyDeleteflow, tangle and tether."
I really like that, Teri. Nicely woven all round.

love the transition from closed to open eyes, from squander to love.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark- I love the clarity of your comment.
DeleteOH DEAR - I just realized I have forgotten a word! But here you go...with flocks of wordle friends I always find something new to read and write. Once again thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteand there I fixed it!
DeleteBeautiful writing!
ReplyDelete"...a small alley..." just a squint of an open eye, to slowly open the avenue to a rewarding love of life. Nicely wordled - My elfje's take up my brevity powers - my Wordle was another 'story' of sorts:

Teri, it's beautiful. I love (thought it makes me sad) "a lane without love". And that contrast in the last two lines - wonderful!

Lovely and hopeful. That shifting and opening up. Nice.
