"A Fish, A Fly" - Wordle from Beyond the Bozone - napowrimo 4.1


 Preconceptions affect prodigious fish
swimming in a clear pond,
they’ve become omnipotent
as a fly buzzes round the pool,
where speckles on your supercilious head
cause much agitation,
like those unexpected docile journeys
when serendipitous thoughts
seem to occupy a harried yet fallow mind

    This reminds me of a place I like to go to sit and spend the afternoon just chilling...
    Really, really good!

    Bravo, Pamela! I love how you used all of those delicious wordle words. And I love the way we've all interpreted those same words in such a different fashion. I think this is my favorite line: "serendipitous thoughts seem to occupy a harried yet fallow mind"

    Marianne, I have no idea how I arrived at that, but I thank you. Is it possible I am feeling the burn of this 30 poems in 30 days, already?

    I'm not sure what it means, but it manages to be both busy and peaceful at the same time. It has a magical quality about it, as if the sounds of the words were more important than their meanings.

    Me neither, Mr. Walker. The words were gorgeous.
