We weren’t welcomed with writing when we waded waters…
We wrote with whispers…
We wandered whimsical worlds willingly…
We wrestled with whitewashed worldviews wittingly…
We watched weaknesses,
Willed wholeness,
Withstood wickedness,
Weathered wildfires,
Wowed warriors,
Wearied wastebaskets,
Wagered wars,
Wistfully…
We welcomed widespread worries, while we were wounded…
We wept when warm, wonderful, wordplay was written…
Why?
Words were weapons…
We were writing wrongs…
