Discreetly

Discreetly

Cool
hot notes
fall wayward
from her
intentionally
a second time
favored
but still showery
doubts
rain delicately 

She shakes
the puzzle
from its 
sleepy nest
but gives
no help
to its faintly struggle

then she remembers 
why
she's eaten
the words
                    discreetly.

Thank you for kind comment. Im not sure why l wrote this poem or its inspiration. Some times l just pick up a pen & write, very strange. l think it comes from emotions we feel inside of course, as im feeling this way these last few days & my husband says iv gone very quiet, as if gone inside of myself. I'm not sure if i'm sad. Emotions are very strange. take care Jx
