The Hesitant Nudge to Love The Harshest Judge.
#WritcoPoemPrompt41
Write a poem including as many of the following words (or variations on these words) as you like:
solecisms, connectome, recidivous, calico, performs.


Here she was, an incomplete poem written on a piece of calico.
Left on a rusted table in an abandoned patio.
She always showed those charisms.
The ways she helped others and alleviated their pain.
The way she did everything that defines humane.
But she always believed she was full of unbearable solecisms.
She always waited for that special moment.
When she finally learns how to love her opponent.
She had to battle herself internally.
The one who's going to stay with for eternity.
The one who always filled her with uncertainty.
The worst critic.
And the best analytic.
She wanted to gather her thoughts in one colorful connectome.
Paint a place in her mind and call it home.
But she was haunted by the fear of being recidivous.
She feared that after she performs, her mind would become hideous.
That the calico would stay lost.
And the poem would end up being tossed.
But everything required a risk.
A huge one, if you might say.
But it was her only way.
"Take your first steps."
"Stumble for the sake of progress."
"Sometimes, it doesn't make sense."
"But most of the times, we need to digress"
"Hopefully, this time I'm reach my bliss."
"And stop hiding my pain under a happy pretense."
She kept taking as she continued to guess.
Walking a powerfully planned way with unplanned attempts.
Completing the calico.
And renewing the patio.
