Wordplay contest

Nurse my over weary head Curse this existential dread Purse my lips, I disapprove Purge doubt, cast out, remove Forge a path where I escape Force a change, my mind reshape

Dear dd, youv really played around with words for this one! Is this for brians contest? I love how youve expressed your disapproval and disdain and weariness and how you nurse your thoughts and mind, to reshape mind and force a change through facing all emotions straight up! You really have a way with words, especially the last two lines as i read, were so cleverly put together! Pleasure reading this sincere and heartfelt poem: sending you light always

Thank you Ink. I started with the second line and then battled with it until I could get 5 lines haha with these types of forms it's better to find the words first rather than do it the hard way - thank you for your supportive comment, appreciated

Hey little freaky deek, my favorite line "purse my lips" what a vision of you. Feisty, you are Queen for a day. Off with their heads! I really enjoyed the word play in this one, DD.

It's about seeing the world differently through a different lens. Filtering through myth, memory, culture etc. The winners to the contest are indisputably perfectly aligned with the prompt.
