wrapped in stolen rags
one step ahead of wind
near the orange of dusk
where melancholy sucked
the marrow from her bones
a stutter of hesitation
roused her from repose
blew across the grate
rattled against cobblestones
and caused the owls to moan
viduity was her final miswrite
nightmare of the soul
Poefusion Friday 5 prompts with these words: hesitation, miswrite, orange, repose, viduity
Thanks, Michelle!

Very clever the way you worked viduity in. Well done.
i feel more loneliness than homelessness here... more lack of will to live,,, than life itself....
very creative in your use of the five words, I especially like - a stutter hesitation, you paint a pretty suck image
You've taken a homeless woman from the streets and given her a home in our hearts with your words, even with her grim outlook. I hate to think of people/ families living on the streets during this time of year. It has to be difficult not knowing where one will sleep or get their next meal. Well written, Tumblewords. Hope your new year is going well. Have a nice day.
Such a poetic weaving of these words to create a vividly haunting image to accompany the lovely Fractal.
Hugs and blessings,
I'm back again to let you know I've left the Van Gogh's Ear Award for you at Small Reflections. You're definitely one of the most creative bloggers I know!
Hugs and blessings,
http://www.wordwarriors.wayne.edu/list.php is a new site at Wayne State University which promotes words which should not be bound up unused in the dictionary, but celebrated. "Viduity", I confess, I'd never encountered before, but now that I have, its silky smooth texture makes me want to nominate it for their list of words that need preserving.
