852 - Triptych


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are: hateful, limp and marvel.


Triptych

A sad, timid soul
Imagines Captain Marvel
While tucked into bed


Shun hateful people.
They suck the joy from your life
And give you nothing.


The call of the wild—
A sweaty genital sneeze;
Limp but satisfied.

  3. The genital sneeze made me chuckle..life chugs along..it would be nice to go back to being tucked up in bed still believing in heroes but inevitably yes, most people give you nothing and suck the joy from your marrow - on that cheery note - happy Sunday..may it be continent
