I TOIL

I toil
A vast​​​
 frozen wasteland
fierce and cold, there is nobody here, just me.
I tend the
 weeds, try to grow something, anything of meaning but new growth perishes in the bitter wind
Still I toil

I glimpse others like me. We stumble by each other, connect briefly, move on. All drift away. Back to their own patch to tend their own weeds
Still I toil.
Marion Price (2019)

Oh my gosh, Marionette! 
YOU are a terrific writer. You have wonderful ideas, and you express them so deftly with your words. That was excellent! I agree with the wonderful Cheerie above. You are really talented. I had to Pin that, also. 
Great! 
Matthew. 

PS. Note: You have to pick a winner for the Sock Contest. The winner gets an all expense paid trip(except for air fare, meals, gas, or anything involving money) to CosmoLand(a new adventure park in Sussex, featuring rides such as Jill's Loopy Rollercoaster Poetry Ride, Cheerie's Beautiful World Ride, Marionette's Wacky Sock Ride and Gorgeous Poetry Expose', and Matt's House of Horrible Poetry Scare Thrill. They also get some lemmings, a bronzed past participle, hair tonic, a yard of felt(various colors available), monkey stuff, gargling accoutraments, phenobarbatol, and a zeppelin. It's exciting...in a mundane type of way. Please pick me, please pick me! LOL.
