I cover my eyes
maybe
your trite words
will no longer
bind my spirit
mind the spell
aimed at me
I sing
a butterfly
flying free
miles away
the land
holds
sign
of spring
You
no longer
have power
to scorch
to burn me
ring you chime
sing your lies
I do not hear
I cover my eyes

You're the second person I've come across who is doing both the words and the picture prompts. I realized it as soon as I saw "trite." Interesting to see the different directions.
WORDS failed me when a SPELL took AIM and placed a butterfly on my face. My MIND is blown and MAYBE my SPIRIT will LAND my MIND in the land of CHIME..
HOOOOO HAAAA...please don't SCORCH me for making fun.
Another GOOD ONE!
very nice.....good sense was made
A very poignant poem Gail, beautiful!
Very sing-songy, I enjoyed this.
Pamela
Grace,
I definitely can relate with this poem because there are plenty of things that I turn a blind eye to. Most of which are the attitudes of others being negative. Thank you for sharing this poem with us.
The words came out different for you.. but they worked well together..
Gail, you did an excellent job with the words and picture prompt. Def some thoughts to ponder on here. Sometimes we choose not to see.
Beautifully written . Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
Sounds like the Ice Giants are preparimg to leave your land ...
A brilliant use of both prompts. I'm missing out on Wordle this week for the first time in ages, but you did it proud.
lovely poem with the perfect words....
What a beautiful message here! Very empowering.
Powerful poem here. Awesome job.
That's telling him you can get on without him. Ssh! Don't tell a soul but we could do with some more stronger women.
An effective combination of the two prompts.
Very powerful poem you wrote here for this prompt. Really great job as the words did flow with this message.
Captivating poem for the prompt. Well-done, my friend :)
To be able to sing the butterfly is a magical thing
I'm always amazed at how one can take those words and spring a poem to life that makes such sound images, I really liked how this read.
You are a fearless writer. I would sit there all day and never come up with that.
Excellent medley of mimes...
Loved this, Gail. One of your best. Really packed a punch while carrying me along in such a powerful current of feeling.
=)
I have known people like that....sometimes you just have to cover your eyes and follow your heart.
Really liked this! The ending stung and the lines themselves carried plenty of emotion.
Love it. fearless and bold.
