My 21 year old Royal Poinciana tree succumbed to a fungus last year, and although I’ve planted a new one, it is a mere twig compared to this royal beauty. R.I.P.

“Misanthrope” For MLMM Wordle 350

6 Replies

Misanthrope

With no pretense of happiness, I trudge the trail of life,
trying to avoid the echo of its strife.
Why am I so tired, why happiness so short?
Why this endless trial in an unsympathetic court?
Although it takes a village to raise a happy child,
it takes just one cruel parent to create one who is wild.
When others share tales of success, I make no reply.
The sound of others’ laughter prompts in me a sigh.
For me no loving warm embrace. Never have I been kissed,
for the world’s camaraderie is something that I’ve missed.

 

For Di’s Wordle 350 the prompt words are: tale, echo, tire, trial, court, short, why, reply, village, success, pretense, happiness.
