Wordle: Neptune’s Fury


Frothy water
In the wake of the horse-drawn shell
Zigzagging through the vast blue ocean
As if trying to stitch the waves together
Neptune travels
Sense of urgency
A shrill wind
And an icy chill that begins to singe the extremes
Become nothing
Neptune holds his trident aloft
Peaks pointing towards a turbulent sky
And with a swift circle of the staff
Lightning streaks forth like a powerful cosmic ribbon
Neptune is unpleased
And he has reached his destination

    Neptune is showcasing his power. This is a wonderful line – Lightning streaks forth like a powerful cosmic ribbon – a cosmic ribbon created by lightening. Great creativity in this one, Tom. Well done …

      He does have a bit of a temper, Col.
      Indeed it is, with possible shocking consequences…

    Ancients gods all possessed attributes of their human worshippers or how they would like to be as lives were so foul. Now we worship greed and waste nothing has changed much.

      Thank you, Keith. It seems Neptune lives by his own rules as well.

    Trying to stitch waves together seems like life itself – at once impossible but necessary

      So true, Prenin. These ancient Gods always seem to be in a bad mood when I write about them, don’t they?
