Prompt: "swallowing clouded day-whispers"

Springboard from the prompt and express.

I do not wish for you to use the line in your poem, nor should it be your title.

I am looking for elegance in simplicity with intense emotion.

Move beyond what might be expected and look inward. Find the place inside where these words find truth and touch it.

There is where you will find it.

I am looking forward to reading your wonderful words.

Off you go ...

love the prompt, something about it just resonates inside my head.
i dont think the place/mood i am in will produce anything "elegant", thats a rare feat for this raw beast to start with, but we shall see.
