Let the imagery carry you, as it did me…
Each week The Sunday Whirl invites writers to write a poem or short prose using some or all of the “Wordle’s” 12 words. This week it is:
The Skirt at the Bridge
There are organs for sale these days,
Money to be made, and
A DNA pool just waiting to be tapped into.
Though I prefer friends who are less homogenous;
Like the ones who tower over everyone else, and
The ones who didn’t just slither out of a nuclear pond yesterday.
Single-celled and no teeth are okay with me.
Those poor in spirit will still see their just rewards, and
I always keep my head up looking for that signal…
There, over there, the frail beginnings still shine brightly,
like a skirt lifting in the breeze at the bridge of dawn.

I really like how you used these words! Hoping all get their just rewards as well.
keep the faith, Mary.
Playfully serious. Don’t worry, the rewards will come to those who have earned them,

Loved the final lines to put a smile on my face.
me, too.
Best to keep looking up! Excellent use of the words.

except at the local park’s dog run.
Nicely wordled (forgot it was wordle!), and yes, I also love that final stanza.
thanks.
i love the title – and your poem and imagination flowed as beautifully as that skirt
I like the skirt imagery
It’s a time of great moral dilemmas, Randy, and too many give in to the money. Thanks for offsetting the first verse with the last.
