One could coast
or one could stress
The tendency is innate
even rampant and relentless
Or is it delicate
and perhaps a bit bland
It depends on the space
you occupy
What you have forged
in that space
Under your hat
that spectrum
Of thoughts and emotions
and whether you stress
That which rejuvenates
or that which enervates
/ / /
in the company of introverts
silence is rampant
but not relentless
no day is bland or boring
but instead delicate
there is no stress
in this space we’ve forged
an innate spectrum
that rejuvenates
we can coast
not speaking
keeping our opinions
under our hats

The first poem is in response to the twelve words of Wordle 86 at The Sunday Whirl.
The second poem also responds to the wordle as well as the “In the company of (blank)” prompt at Poetic Asides.
I vote for both of them! As an introvert, I know my silence is rampant! 🙂
Our Thirst Guides Our Way
Oh, Mr. Walker, now you’ve done it. I struggle to make one piece of these words and you turn around and make two. Unfair. I do like both: the philosophy in the first, the reality in the second. For the first half of my existence, I struggled to be an extrovert, during this second half, I prefer just being comfortably me.
