marvel at the whir of clouds
creating your poetic spark
twist ideas through creating your poetic spark
scattered words
in the mind’s
blink a poem
is born
cast aside
rendered fear
reprehensible doubt
shadows self-esteem
opened curtains gild
a brighter view
so scan
your heart
and trust
afflatus*

Wow...superb use of the worlde words~!
Beautiful piece... love the depth.
I learned a new word. Had never seen afflatus and had to look it up. thank you.
Excellent porm about the way a poem comes into existance, Laurie. I must admit I am going to have to search the dictionary for the word 'afflatus' though.
Mary- I went ahead and added the meaning of afflatus at the bottom-- it's inspiration
I have to say, the poetic spark struck you. I really enjoyed this poem.
I admire the gift of being able to create a piece with 12 unrelated words ~~ well done!
It is wonderful when it does happen, just like here, Laurie.

I'm always amazed when someone can write a wordle without it being awkward. You did it!
The words seem to coalesce beautifully, Laurie.
You used the wordle words well.
I really liked . . .
"opened curtains gild
a brighter view"
Nicely done. :-)
Brilliant use of the wordel words, Laurie! I love 'whir of clouds' ... great image. And 'blink a poem' - spectacular!
Fantastic use of the wordle and enjambment, especially in the lines "in the mind's/blink a poem/is born/cast aside/rendered fear". The way you've structured the words, different meanings emerge depending on how you read them. Well done!
Laurie, I love this one. It's so positive, and yet it so well captures "rendered fear" and "reprehensible doubt" - I like both of those phrases so much - they ring true. Great last word; thanks for introducing me to it.
