522 : A Brief Blooming

Sunday Whirl (Wordle #111) presents a list of words

that we must incorporate in a writing piece.  

The words this week are:  

vault, halls, swirl, crave, throat, wind, 

limbs, nimble, prairie, rapture, train, each

A Brief Blooming

The wind swirls across the prairies,

The land is strangely still.

A wolf clears its throat and howls,

It echoes through the hills.

Hunter gatherers, the nomadic tribes,

Travel for feeding’s sake,

They are necessarily nimble

As survival is at stake.

Cities appear, with their streets and halls,

Their limbs are clothed and warm;

Food is farmed and plentiful,

There is shelter from the storm.

They keep the wealth they cannot eat

In vaults beneath the floor,

Each sold on the rapture of novelty

And taught to crave for more.

Growth is the mantra of this world,

But we’re stealing from the larder,

Come the day when it all runs out,

Our life will get much harder.

Hunter gatherers, the nomadic tribes,

Travel for feeding’s sake,

Necessarily they are nimble

As survival is at stake.

The wind swirls across the prairies,

The land is strangely still.

A wolf clears its throat and howls,

It echoes through the hills.
