Eight Word Challenge: Making Sense of Meaning

A horde of words and  
thoughts shackled by lost meaning
loiter in my mind

memory cartridge
wizened by time elicit
mordacious statements 

Wondering, asking
a trifle for your thoughts eh'
Such foolish banter

John Hamilton April 12, 2017 at 12:34 PM Hey PPD, sorry left you out in my comments, really great use of the words, and in a restrictive form, so kudos to you, congrats on a fine placement!

Joanna Daniel April 5, 2017 at 9:17 AM I see you and me have somewhat similarly used the eight words, though you've used it better in such a restrictive form:) strange as it seems, I've never read your poetry before, and it's pure coincidence:) I wish you all the best for the contest, Dupins:)
