Warriors Waltz

This poem goes both ways...

Wonderful white whales; went wandering,

Wanting wishing well water -

While winter's wickedness worsen - wrenched weather.

Witch watches; wild wind, wrecked -

Window wrinkled, wet.

Weeping willow waving; wailing wings.

Wagering wands; witty words whispering warmth,

When Wednesday's woe; willingly welcomed -

With wrath wakes werewolves, warlocks; widows.

Wisdom withering; worries winning.

Warriors waltz.

***

Now read it backwards :)

    Way more W words than I would have thought possible! This feels gothic almost, with lots of damaged nature imagery. Love how this still flows despite the constraint, and “ Widsom withering; worries winning.” is a great line! Just checking- is that a typo and supposed to be Wisdom?
