Sunday Whirl #81: wrath, tumultuous, scramble, flees, shore, key, swelling, upbeat, depths, enable, rotten charm

Sandy
Woman shrouded in blue
Waits upon the shore
Waves swelling before her
Her dreams swim in the depths
Salt water the key
The end
Final
Her life scrambled
Like yellow eggs upon a plate
Bright fall morning
Event tumultuous
Order flees
Nothing ever the same
Wrath takes over
No longer upbeat
It is her rotten charm
That has enabled her this far
Future uncertain

Note: Sandy a storm that will long be remembered. Effects of climate change comes to New York City, and surrounding east coast area.
The scrambled yellow eggs stood out amidst the blue storm..like the straw that breaks the order.. the countenance of her face..jae x
Dear Jae Thanks so much for your comment. That stood out for me, too.
Love the new profile pic..you look so content..adventuring in your sketch book..
Yes, there is loss, but perhaps we can think of them differently, “a correction.” After all perhaps it was not meant that we should build our nests upon the edge of the sea, perhaps that should be left for the wild life, whatever is left. Only a correction, that we should see what global climate change is ahead? Nature has much to teach.
I agree with Jae- the scrambled egg image is powerful. Amazing how so much havoc results from such storms and yet blue skies await the aftermath. Going through Rita and then Ike was horrific. Sandy brings back a lot of bad memories and I really feel for those suffering now.
Oh wow, we thought along the same lines on the wordle words Annelle. I guess with the huge devastation that occurred and with it all still on my mind, the words led the way.
Great wordle, hugely sad subject through.
RYN: Yes, if you’re that far from the sea it would probably be drought that did it. I think we as a species are now reaping the rewards of the destruction we’ve sown on this planet for far too long. Maybe it is just the nature of things.
Thanks for your comments, it is so.
These words really lent themselves to keeping our thoughts on Sandy – the photo of her effects are unbelievable!
I never thought of charm being rotten before, but why not? 🙂
In This Tumultuous World
Sandy brought so much heartbreak and devastation. These new weather phenomenon are truly horrifying. Excellent use of the wordle words to tell the story, Annell!
Annell, nice use of metaphor with the scrambled eggs. A horribly tragic event for so many people who are not used to hurricanes. I am from New York and some of family on Long Island were flooded, but are safe and I am very relived about it. Well wordled.

Powerful image!
The wordle this week really lent itself to verse about Sandy! You wrote of her as an almost spectral being – lovely
Nature knows no emotion, nature just is. Now is the time for humanity to step up to the devastated shore. I like your blue lady.
I hope to take some blankets to a local collection headed towards NJ this weekend.
