Wordsworth Reversed.

Goldfinch60



I raced among fleets of dark clouds 

That crash low through towns and homes 

When all at once I saw just one 

A single darkened green nettle 

On the path, beneath the old house 

Just sitting there ready to sting.

    Good write Gold.
    I need to wander lonely as a cloud, and wander far way to sing! lol.

    • Goldfinch60

      And the further away the better. LOL

      Thanks Orchi.

      It could just be the first draft, you never know when inspiration will strike, or not. Nicely told!

      • Goldfinch60

        Very true Bella, inspiration can be so vague on occasions. Thank you.

        Wordsworth Reversed is Worth Words and this is certainly worth a few words here. I see it as a humorous take on "I wandered lonely as a cloud." If so, it's well done, and I see the humor. No host of anything, just one "nettle" Well done, Andy. - Phil A.

          Thank you Phil, humour is so important in our lives, if only it was always there.

          Dark green nettle, lonely as a cloud;
          Under foot but until now unbowed -
          You could pluck without fear of retribution,
          Present it to your stew as contribution.

          (Understood to be delicious, Andy).

          • Goldfinch60

            Yes that stew would have an enhancement in its taste Dave.
