More new wordle words from Brenda at the Sunday Whirl:
verve * corridor * fingertips * muse
strengthen * mirror * thrust * sheep
yearn * omen * opal * raw * thread
She Dreams
She dreams of treasure chests spilling opals,
fiery rings to adorn fingers and toes,
shimmery in the mirrored corridors of her mind,
rainbow-gemmed threads thrust into endless
configurations. Flashing jewels stir up bad luck and
evil omens. Strengthened by her muse, and the opals,
she thinks she is all-knowing, and she writes. Countless
words bleat sheep-like as mediocre poetry flows from
her mediocre fingertips. She pretends it is exceptional.

Ah, but it is exceptional! I love that you made the opal a focal point. I love this part, "Rawly flashy, rainbow-gemmed threads thrust into bottomless yearning..."
gorgeous.
I agree with Brenda, it IS exceptional indeed. With your words, you are 'all powerful,' as are we all!
I have to agree too! You wove the words just beautifully :o)
"Countless words
bleat sheep-like as uninspired poetry flows from
my violated fingertips. I pretend it is exceptional. "
I loved that! Very powerful.
You used the wordle words to good effect here.
I love the message of this dream. I vaguely recall my aunt saying something about opals and bad luck - and you've taken that idea and used it for bad writing that is thought to be good. Brava!

No pretending, Marianne, this is marvelous. Lovely imagery.

I agree with everyone else; this is well done. I like the way you start off with a rhyme but wander into an almost stream-of-consciousness free verse later in the poem. Much like our work tends to wander if our attention wavers...
Awesome work!

You did a beautiful job with this one.
