cognitive within its complexity
journey awaits
statistics of perplexity
approach negates
positivistic, political idea, positivisme
hang off the moon meditate
stoic in views
constrained from love
legitimate fear of bad news
utilitarian pleasure of a shove
feelings, faces, au fait
swing from the sun soar
transformation of a social idea
tortured with silence
becomes something which to adhere
it should be for avauance

Some nice sounds here PAMELA, but 'avauance' has got me!

Sometimes those big words intimidate and can often lose their effect if overused.
ReplyDeleteHere they flow and make the piece what it is - a pleasure to read. And given the context of the prompt they fit perfectly.
