Drizzling dust

Written for a contest-Advanced 10/40 Using all ten words,(Dust, only, paint, alibi, through, pencil, property, sprayed, organize, borrow ) in order, had to write a poem using exactly forty words.

Drizzling dust on my window

Only paints an alibi for my absent spirit

Some peer through

At a hazy pencil sketch of me

Listless property strewn

Sprayed with neglect

I have to shake off the gloom

Borrow zest organise life

This is exceptionally well, and conveying such a thoughtful message...Poems like this are always in my goodbooks :)
