Spelunking
Swimming in my sorrows, I’m obliged, I fear, to share them.
My friends all shrink away and hide, hoping I will spare them.
But worries are a mother lode, and each of us a piner,
tunneling into all our woes like a trauma miner.
Then relating all of them in streams without a comma,
turning everyone we meet into a surrogate momma.
Prompt words for today are swim, oblige, sorrow, miner and comma.
Love this poem Judy

It’s amazing how you can take five disparate words and create a poem around them. You are awesome, Judy.

Thanks, Andrea. This was done in an incredible hurry as I only had a short amount of time before we had to leave… Great incentive for using as many prompt words as possible in as few sentences as possible.

I’m not afraid of much, but caving is one of the few. Nope, not for me. And oh, that poem. It speaks to all of us.
