Words waft astray
In an unforeseen way
Savage at one end
Meant to betray
Other times prudent
like opposite's impudent
Obvious efforts
to remain a vacuous student.
Honey-rich love
Poured from above
mulch for flowered syllables
on winged dove.
Convoluted rhyme
Will erode in time
Any vestige of trust
in meaning sublime.
Prostitute word
Feelings unheard
Wants only reward
for the bitter, absurd.

      Thank you for reading! I don't remember what the day was like on this one, in fact lol, it was a word bank, which I love the challenge of doing. Thank you for the compliment.

    Funny thing I often don't like rhyme, but in this I feel that it works really well. I love how you used the words in this. Its a very interesting poem and the feeling I got from reading this was great. Nicely penned.
