attrition hibiscus deaden irrelevant fear elicit
dolorous human adversary downpour fade claw
this could result in
a war of attrition
eliciting fear
escalating into
a deadening dolorous situation
a sharpening of claws
it's human to respond
to the adversary
it's a downpour of relief
when resisted
ignore the neigbour
stealing the hibiscus
in the driveway
it all becomes irrelevant
fades away with time
life is too short
Nice ... like how you wove the wordle and your ending is perfect! Bastet
ReplyDeleteThis starts out so sinister and so intense but by the end I was smiling. We get ourselves so worked up over the small stuff, cleverly done because you worked me up there for a moment lol

ReplyDeleteI took to heart to look into the illustration :)
Very often neighbors need to look the other way when minor infractions could cause undo stress. Like the neighbor who has a fenced in yard for their dog, yet allows the dog free range when they think no one is looking...
Wise words... life is too short, indeed.
Very short indeed..
ReplyDeleteLovely poem !
