Hi!
From randomlists.com
So my inner monologue, upon seeing the words for today, went a little like this:
“‘Join’ makes me think dots, then something would have to fit around ‘hurt’… ‘old’ and ‘eye’ seem to be asking to be put together somehow…Oooo, a ‘stranger’ needs to be ‘avoid’ed too…not sure how the last three words fit with the first six, though?!”
And so I began:
Join Hurt Old Eye Avoid Stranger Six Expansion Whirl
As I join up the dots that you left me,
I have hurt to brefriend and protect me;
That old ‘eye for an eye’ I’ll avoid, though,
‘Cos my mum taught me not to stoop that low…
You’re a stranger, a person non grata,
But somehow you think that won’t matter;
With six knives in my heart I’m still breathing –
Yet in my good nature you’re still believing?!
Get your coat, shoes, your hat, all belongings
(No reminders, please, of your wrongdoings)
Your conduct will not win my sanction,
And I fear your misdeeds’ expansion.
As the whirl inside my head is stopping,
And the clamour of my rage is dropping;
I can see through the clouds and think clearer
Pray that someone worth my love draws nearer.

It ended up rhyming of its own accord at first, but I just carried it on because it seemed to fit the rhythm my subconscious wanted.
I quite like this poem, I’m glad the speaker has the sense to disentangle herself from the situation, and is putting her foot down!
Sounds like she’s had a rough trot. I wonder what her lover did?!
Can you relate to the poem at all?
Would you have written along similar lines using these words?
