Tryst
befriends
a hodgepodge
of too much pangs
leading to unsuspected circumstance
despite light at the end of the tunnel
count on lights out
as miss match
no friend
twist

A treat indeed, Silent One. Adrift was I to reply; the axiom be a given, yet 'hodgepodge' somewhat be the odd man out, as it seldoms me. I respect your valued time and your impeccable use of it--now that's a word that seldoms other posters, my friend. Aloha, William

Yes, Anaya, then was the days when fishes were plentiful, yet in the passing years, they'd be only whales. Mahalo as always, my friend. Aloha, William
