Wanted:
One carbon based
badass brunette,
poet preferable.
Have you obviated
enough birthdays
to lose count
year after “happy” year?
Have you witnessed
sorrow’s white-capped
obsessions circle a nervous sea
during love’s long drought?
Are you willing to succumb to passion’s mad
gasp and drown in another’s embrace?
If so, circle this ad.
**Scorching responses receive instantaneous replies.
***Glacial responses go unanswered.

I like it! Fun and clever, and a good use of the Wordle words. Thanks for the laugh.
Brenda, this is a hoot! One can't take oneself or one's wordles too seriously. I enjoyed your humor.
What a clever idea Brenda!
Love it!

I love the first stanza! Very clever and humourous.

Thank you all for stopping to read and comment. I'm glad you like the piece. Ha! It was fun, as Mary says, we can't take wordles too seriously. Some of them are so deep...I just couldn't get there this week.
Great post - hope you find what you're looking for.
Thanks Stan, It's just a post. I am married and in love (same person...:)
you did have fun with this one. enjoyed it bunches
finding and circling a personal ad is just abt as fun as finding a lost treasure... i love to read personal ads sometimes they are just soooo creative... good one!!
Witty, with a clever use of the prompt words. Even without them I like your wordplay overall in this poem. Nicely done.
