NaPoWriMo: Day 24. Today’s prompt is to think about words buried in words. In particular, think about the words buried in your own name. Plug your name into an anagram generator, like this one, and try writing a self-portrait poem using words that are generated

Healer Willows Twirls
Whitewalls roll and swirl as willow heals
Will she ever escape from how it is that others feel.
Lashes, slashes and wheals she hides them all from view
The stairwell whore throws out swill she knows what to do.
Whitewalls roll and swirl as willow heals
In the stairwell the whore wills away her skills.
Wishing things better never, never makes things so
Willow is a healer, but she cannot heal willow
Whitewalls roll and swirl as willow heals
Ills twirl and swirl and woes beset the healer
Weeping softly in the stairwell no cares how the whore feels
Sills and twills the drowning healer willow the whore of the stairwell.

well, lets think, I tried Lady Penelope, and one stood out… pealed openly… and another leadenly plop…. I think not the 2nd as somehow leaden hearts plopping came to mind, but the first one.. mayhap this will do?..
Pealed Openly BY Lady Penelope..
You said I should change,
I should rearrange,
my emotions to fit your need,
but I’m not that way,
my inner emotions hold sway
I’m lead by neither sex nor greed
I’m sorry to say I’ve changed inside
I give no care for your creed,
I wouldn’t let go of friends I knew
but you asked that I follow your lead.
I’ve a complex heart, I have to feel love
for there to be any hope or chance
but you wanted to play the loud music
before I’d learned the steps to the dance.

Pen I did not see the whole poem when I sent the reply. Now I have just found it and it is amazing. Just look at the fabulous insights these words pull out of us. Bravo, bravo that is an epic, epic poem! I bow to you deeply and sent you huge amounts of respect and hugs!!

This one really whirls, Willow. It’s sad though. And I hate ‘whore’, it really really puts a woman gutter low.
Well written again, and always so moving. And that deviantart is amazing – EVERY time you post one of their pics, it suits your words perfectly. Great! 🙂

I love deviant art, they just write my psyche! I am glad you liked it sorry about the use of whore but it was relevant to the poem. 😉 😉
