Opinion unchangeable
Irreversibly fixed
Until he met a femme fatale

Cocksure rookie, premature, lost his cool

weaving without wonderment within woods wisdom 
where wily weather whips Windy Wilbur's whimsy

Listen to poem:

For your sake I will warm up
the weaselly words
to downplay the fiery spirit
of cold straight and raw poesy juice.

in wily, lily white bowls....

Party animal heart in her ample chest
The wily lady a player without reservation
"Come on up and see me" her not so subtle invitation!

Windfalls of apples,
dull reds and brown leaf
scattered amongst
the creeping mist
that filters through
the wily woven web of spiders,
laying in wait
unknowing of the migration
that followed the sun...!
