Sunday Whirl Wordle 284 - Grandmother's Bucket List

The Sunday Whirl Wordle 284  provides participants with 11 words for this challenge to write a poem or short prose using some or all the words.  Forms of the words are also acceptable.  My composition this time is a poem.





Grandmother's Bucket List

crooked eaves of a cliff
blue sky seen through hole in a cloud
verdant tobacco plants growing
in distant world below

grandmother gave a gasp
wondering if she had been wise
to position herself right there
to be first to descend

  1. Grannies certainly get about in adventurous ways! One hopes the decent won't be by the fastest (and invariably fatal) route!
