Writer's Cramp entry for 16May23
**clock ** carnation ** curious ** catastrophe**

Who was he?
Discarded, ignored,
A new sword honed dull,
A befuddled orphan,
For sale.

Who was he?
A budding carnation,
Unusual and curious,
Sinking young roots,
Into mud.

Who was he?
A white-knuckled man,
With eyes on the clock,
Expecting the next,
Catastrophe.

Who was he?
A soul who received,
Forgiveness like water,
In torrents of love,
From above.
