Trifecta :Week 105
For the final challenge Trifecta has left the choice to us writers.We are to give them exactly 33 of our best words.They want the words to bleed -definitely a tough challenge for us but then when has Trifecta given us a challenge that has been easy? 😀 Feels really unreal writing for Trifecta this final time but hope that someday,somewhere we meet again.Will miss the fabulous challenges and the dedicated Trifectans. All the best to everyone and here come my 33 words for what they are worth.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Evening shadows
On the cobblestones of life
forgotten laughter
ebullient-
gambols in concert
with tears,
silhouettes of past
play Chinese whispers
desires bubble
in
yesterday’s cauldron.
Unsaid words
coagulate, asphyxiate
on bitter gall of regret.

Thank you Rach 🙂
I can tell you chose your 33 words carefully – you made the most of the imagery. I really like the last three lines: “Unsaid words coagulate, asphyxiate on bitter gall of regret.” They are the perfect ‘punch’ for the ending.
