W - Wake
Wayward winds whirl, warping the already weathered wings of the wanderer
Weakly wobbling through winters widespread wall of white
Week after week the weather weighs down
Withered more by his wife's words than the wrath of the wailing wind
Weary this wager will not warrant the wealth he wanted, but a widow
watching out her window wondering where her warrior is
Wheezing as he wades through the frozen waters
Whelmed by worry
Wishing he withheld this wisdom before walking
Is a wage worth well-being and the potential wounds he wields?
He weeps while he is wrenched from this world in a wave of warmth
The willfulness in his whimpers traveled like whispers across the west wind
Welcomed with wreaths by the worn and waiting
