Reconciled to
individuality
Amuse my sensibilities,

my exile
where elements strip
my soul
Cure me contented

Drinking freedom from a bottle

Congrats on the silver but between me and you, gold worthy for sure. You blew the prompt out of the water for sure! I just loved it. That song is one of my favorites by the way so for me to admit to you putting Blue October to shame... well that's really something! Well done lovely woman!

Wonderful poem! Once I got to the last line I felt so content (lol...I wrote that without even thinking about the fact that that word was in the last line of the poem
) This is such a delicatly constructed, sentimental poem. Great job and congrats on the shiney! I like shinies!

What a lovely taste to this receipt. This says it all in 23 words, to stand hold individuality and strip to the soul and be cured to contentment. Delightful to ring the truth as it tingles the soul.

Brilliant Jacks, and well worth silver or better!
I know what you are going through, as I once was on high dose morphine for over a week back in my military days.
Love and peace always,

An excellent piece to go along with the lyrical prompt. Weaving the taste of renewal to fill the gaps. Great effect of imagery and depth. Thank you for your entry!

Wryly amusing
Awesome!!
The first stanza is utter perfection--great flow and nice use of seemingly ordinary words like 'irregular' and 'reconciled'.
"Amuse my sensibilities"
Sounds like a novel's name! Great line, I like it!
"pour release from my exile"
Brilliant verb usage (you and Lavender Butterfly...I swear you guys have the same verb brains...haha)
"Cure me contented"
LoL!! So wry and in-your-face...I like this.

Yes abit abstract but understandable and perssonal. I have written in a simular vain.Tthe metaphoric uses here are well placed. love the por release line bestt in this wriite of yours. It is always nice tto read your more telling writes getting a glimpse into a watered mirror of sorts. Well done and good luck in the contest.
