Crisis of Friction

My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Wordle #109

Wordle 109

Born in a cluster of stars,

The lonely poet offers

Her handwritten score

To the universe,

Spilling her ink-infused sorrow

On limestone edifices:

A blurry hierogram of verse

And perception,

A cultural crisis of friction

When her soul-drenched work

Is read on a Kindle –

She feels thrown to the clocks.

  1. Love the way you’ve set this up….with the magical, powerful imagery of the stars and expanse of the universe contrasted with ‘the Kindle’—very effective!
